  • Old Romances by local film director Roystan Tan

There is romance in every corner we turn. In this sequel to the documentary, Old Places, Old Romances takes us on a journey to experience Singapore through the collective voices of ordinary Singaporeans. Through their voices, we hear personal stories from members of the public who share their anecdotes on radio. Everyday spaces come alive with these special memories, which are bonded forever with these places. Old Romances is a journal of love letters to places that we grew up with.

  • Our Defining Moments – A film about growing up in Singapore

It chronicles the life of a Singaporean man from his childhood to adulthood through glimpses of his life and culminates with the birth of his son.
