The mission of Big Eyes, Big Minds (BEBM) is to educate, enrich, and inspire kids, aged 2 to 18, through age-appropriate, high-quality films.
Each year, BEBM connects thousands of children, youth, parents and educators in Singapore and St. Louis (USA) to the best animated, live-action and documentary films from around the globe.
BEBM works closely with schools and cultural institutions to bring thoughtfully curated film programs and workshops to young people in diverse communities in Asia and the United States.
We believe that diverse and imaginative films can broaden world-views and encourage critical thinking. We also seek to cultivate film appreciation and inspire creative expression through the craft of filmmaking.
BEBM was founded in 2010 by filmmaker and author Mabel Gan. The Singapore International Children's Film Festival is the first and only children's film festival in Singapore. In the U.S., Big Eyes, Big Minds is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.
