Kin - an imaginary safe space for queer life in Singapore
For those living in intolerant environments, and who lack the resources to obtain other housing, a safe space is a fragile idea. Through the narratives of three individuals, this hybrid documentary film by Charmaine Poh is a meditation on the meaning of a space and the comfort of chosen family. Care, and the many ways it is typically given or received, continues to be one of the many aspects of life that has been windswept by the pandemic. With all of the changes to the various ways we access a space or a community to experience support, Poh explains: “I was interested in exploring ideas of safety and of the threads that bind people outside of a nuclear family. It felt important to depict relationships that don't fit neatly into categories. When you find a chosen family, it can be platonic, romantic, and familial, all at once.”...

Trailer - {if your bait can sing the wild one will come} Like Shadows Through Leaves
Thank you everyone who has asked for a link and password to our film post the Oberhausen ISFF FIPRESCI award. We are happy to share it with you privately. It’s just as its meant to be an immersive, surround sound experience, we much prefer that you wait and see it live. We have however put together a little trailer that gives at least a sense of the atmosphere if not all the layers. SYNOPSIS This film is one part of a long-term engagement with Tanglin Halt, one of Singapore’s oldest social housing estates, which runs alongside a former railway track. The railway was owned by the Malaysian state until 2011, meaning that a ten-meter-wide zone of indeterminate-governance ran through the heart of Singapore for fifty years, playing host to a fecundity of more-than-human activities. Ornithologists have observed 105 species of birds in this patch. However, the land along the tracks is being repurposed as green corridor park through a new biotech and media hub. Once-famous modern housing blocks are being demolished and low-income residents relocated elsewhere. Unofficial tree shrines, community farms and gathering places have been cleared. Our repeated returns to this contested site aim to trace remaining fragments of calls, echoes, shadows memories and transformative encounters that still animate this zone, like shadows through leaves. FIPRESCI JURY STATEMENT "The film offers an artistic and investigative exploration resulting in a fascinating perceptive experience. While creating a cinematic atmosphere, it reflects on urban and eco-social transformations from human and more-than-human relationships. In this way, Like Shadows Through Leaves allows us to think of cinema as an aesthetic tool that questions, resists, and reimagines the relationships between culture and climate change.”
