SINdie: Class of 2008 – See Who’s There!

I propose to you a different way to look back at the Singapore films of 2008. Our memories of films may fade faster than we like to but unforgettable characters tend to stay with us in our minds. Instead of dishing out the stories all over again, I prefer to take a second look at the characters from the Singapore-made films that were hard to erase. And what a bunch of boys, women, uncles, ah mas and cross-dressers we’ve got on our plate, oops, my plate, to be exact.

SIFF Review: Diminishing Memories II

Remember how Chinatown has been kneaded through years of `reinvention’ to its present state of a mildly bustling gathering point for various people. It sure lacks the spontaneity of yesteryears but it is very slowly taking on a new identity. If they keep working at it, it could grow to become gloriously busy… in another 50 years.

Truth, objectivity and the Singapore way

yumei October 27, 2006 Columns 4 Comments

At the Q & A session at last week’s Cine.SG screening of Diminishing Memories and Singapore Standard Time, a member of the audience got up and praised Eng Yee Peng, the director of the former film, for having made a film was “very objective and shows all sides of the story.”

I suppose this was referring to the fact that Yee Peng had interviewed not only her own parents, who were still clearly disgruntled with the government decision to evict them from their kampung home twenty years ago, but also former neighbours and acquaintances, some of whom held a completely opposing view.

Diminishing Memories/SST

yumei October 18, 2006 Films No Comments

Cine.SG’s ongoing screenings of Singapore films features a doublebill tonight: Diminishing Memories by Eng Yee Peng and Singapore Standard Time by Joycelyn Khoo and Serene Ng. In a way, they seem to be polar opposites: the first seems to promise a trip down the kampung memory lane, while the second is about “how speed has taken root in Singaporean culture”. It should be an interesting ride.

A Hot Summer Love

I think I’m feeling a little unfocused this week. See, my last few feature articles all have a focus to them, but this week I’m all over the place. Talk Sex.
Yes, there you go. It all comes back into focus. I’m listening to my sub consciousness and it keeps telling me, “You know what you [...]

Stefan Says So: The Stool Pigeon (Sin Yan)

This is the stuff of what Hong Kong action crime thrillers are made of, with the sets being the real streets of the city upon which a high intense cop and robbers drama unfolds, and engaging characters that you actually care about.
