Blame it on the constant bombardment of movies from Hollywood <\/a>- filled with hot A-list actors and billion dollar graphics - that we never truly give enough attention or credit to our homegrown films.<\/p>

Since 2015 is the year Singapore <\/a>celebrates its 50th anniversary as an independent nation, it's time to devote more of our time appreciating the local culture - from cuisines to art to design<\/a> and of course cinema. Now, if you can't fathom the thought that our tiny island has impressive talent then don't forget that\u00a0a Singaporean film, namely Ilo Ilo<\/em>, did make it big by winning the prestigious Camera d'Or award at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival<\/a> - is that talent enough for you?<\/p>

So get your notebooks out and jot down these names because they're the ones you're going to spend your weekend watching at the cinema.<\/p>
