Lil Wild in the Big City is a new animated kids’ series by Mediacorp about a lovable group of animal friends navigating friendship, big feelings and growing up together.

A Singapore Dementia Story is an anthology presented by Lien Foundation and Dementia Singapore and produced by veteran producer Daniel Yun. Going beyond the diagnosis, these five short films celebrate the resilience, humour, and unwavering love of caregivers and persons living with dementia — spanning romance, comedy, thriller, and animation. In honour of World Alzheimer's Day on 21 September, the Cloud Pagoda will be lit up in yellow and purple — the colours of the global dementia movement.

Another Go | Directed by Gavin Lim | Starring Tan Kheng Hua and Peter Yu A devoted husband cares for his wife as dementia slowly takes hold — until a shocking diagnosis forces them both to confront a truth they never saw coming. A tender portrait of love, sacrifice, and what endures when memory fades.
