Award-winning Singaporean director Anthony Chen's latest film We Are All Strangers has been selected as Singapore's official submission in the Best International Feature Film category at the 99th Academy Awards in 2027.
The selection was made by a committee comprising eligible members of the Singapore Film Commission Advisory Committee.
Written and directed by Chen, We Are All Strangers is set in contemporary Singapore and centres on family relationships and unexpected changes in life. Starring Yeo Yann Yann and Koh Jia Ler, the film follows 21-year-old Junyang and his widowed father as they navigate work, family responsibilities and unexpected changes after Junyang's girlfriend becomes pregnant and his father begins a new relationship.
We Are All Strangers has already had a notable festival run.
Earlier this year, it became the first Singaporean film to be selected for the main competition at the Berlin International Film Festival in the festival's 76-year history, where it competed for the Golden Bear. It also opened the 50th Hong Kong International Film Festival .
Yeo, who plays Bee Hwa in the film, was also recently nominated for best performance at this year's Asia Pacific Screen Awards .
The film also marks a milestone for Chen's Growing Up trilogy, which began with Ilo Ilo in 2013 and continued with Wet Season in 2019. Both Ilo Ilo and Wet Season were previously selected as Singapore's official entries for the Oscars' International Feature Film category at the 86th and 93rd Academy Awards, respectively.
The Oscars submission adds another accolade to Chen's trilogy. Ilo Ilo and Wet Season have collectively received more than 50 international accolades, including 12 Golden Horse nominations and five Golden Horse Awards. Ilo Ilo also won the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Supported by the Infocomm Media Development Authority, We Are All Strangers was produced by Chen's production company Giraffe Pictures. The film opened in Singapore cinemas in August and will make its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it will be distributed in North America by Film Movement.
"To have We Are All Strangers chosen as Singapore's official submission for the Oscars is a real honour," Chen said in a press release.
"Seeing all three films in this trilogy selected to represent our country marks a special milestone for our cast and crew who have worked tirelessly over the years to bring them to life.
"These stories belong to Singapore, and presenting this final chapter of the trilogy on the global stage is a privilege for me as a filmmaker."
Yvonne Tang, the assistant chief executive at IMDA's Media Industry Group, said the selection committee had chosen the film after "careful deliberation".
She added: "Anthony has a remarkable ability to tell stories that are deeply rooted in Singapore while resonating with audiences around the world.
"We’re excited to celebrate this latest milestone with Anthony, whose talent, dedication, and belief have driven the trilogy over the past 10 years. We also hope Singaporeans watch and support this film."

屡获殊荣的新加坡导演陈哲艺的最新电影《我们都是陌生人》被选为新加坡角逐2027年第99届奥斯卡金像奖最佳国际影片奖的官方代表影片。
该评选由新加坡电影委员会顾问委员会的合格成员组成的委员会做出。
由陈自编自导的《我们都是陌生人》以当代新加坡为背景，聚焦家庭关系和生活中意想不到的变故。影片由杨雁雁和许嘉乐主演，讲述了21岁的俊阳和他的鳏夫父亲在工作、家庭责任以及俊阳女友怀孕、父亲开始新恋情后所经历的种种变故中挣扎求生的故事。
《我们都是陌生人》此前已在多个电影节上亮相。
今年早些时候，该片成为柏林国际电影节76年历史上首部入围主竞赛单元的新加坡电影，并角逐金熊奖。该片还作为第50届香港国际电影节的开幕影片。
在影片中饰演 Bee Hwa 的 Yeo 最近也获得了今年亚太电影大奖最佳表演奖的提名。
这部电影也标志着陈可辛的“成长三部曲”的一个里程碑，该系列始于2013年的《爸妈不在家》，并于2019年推出了《热带雨》。《爸妈不在家》和《热带雨》此前分别被选为新加坡角逐第86届和第93届奥斯卡金像奖最佳国际影片奖的官方代表。
此次奥斯卡提名为陈木胜的“爱爸爱妈”三部曲再添一项殊荣。《爱爸爱妈》和《热带雨》已累计获得超过50项国际奖项，其中包括12项金马奖提名和5项金马奖。《爱爸爱妈》还荣获戛纳电影节金摄影机奖。
由新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局支持，陈静的制片公司长颈鹿影业制作的《我们都是陌生人》于8月在新加坡上映，并将于多伦多国际电影节举行北美首映，届时将由Film Movement负责北美发行。
陈在新闻稿中表示：“《我们都是陌生人》被选为新加坡角逐奥斯卡奖的官方代表影片，我们感到非常荣幸。”
“看到这三部曲电影全部被选中代表我们国家，对于多年来不懈努力将它们搬上银幕的演员和工作人员来说，这是一个特殊的里程碑。”
“这些故事属于新加坡，作为一名电影制作人，能够在国际舞台上呈现这部三部曲的最后一章，对我来说是一种荣幸。”
新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局媒体产业集团助理首席执行官唐英华表示，评选委员会经过“仔细考虑”后选择了这部电影。
她补充道：“安东尼拥有非凡的能力，他能讲述深深植根于新加坡的故事，同时又能引起世界各地观众的共鸣。”
“我们很高兴能与安东尼共同庆祝这一最新里程碑，他的才华、奉献精神和信念在过去十年中一直是这部三部曲的驱动力。我们也希望新加坡人观看并支持这部电影。”
