About Utter 2015: Head Trips
Singapore Writers Festival (SWF) presents a captivating series of five animation shorts adapted from original short stories and poetry by Singapore writers Alfian Sa’at, Amanda Lee Koe, Dave Chua, Chow Teck Seng and Vanessa Ng. Commissioned by the National Arts Council under Utter, a special SWF initiative that adapts Singapore writing into different media and across languages, the films are set to excite and intrigue audiences of all ages. 

In this year’s edition, the written word meets the creative and aesthetic sensibilities of established and emerging animation directors from Singapore. Put together by award-winning animators Tan Wei Keong, Samantha Seah, Henry and Harry Zhuang, Ang Qing Sheng and Darran Kuah, each film portrays the animator’s unique adaptation styles and encourages greater appreciation for Singapore’s literature and animation.
