PROJECT: slingSHORT Curator's Notes

As storytellers in film, we inevitably become ambassadors of our own culture. Intentionally or otherwise, our stories are laced with  elements of our own upbringing. Our characters echo autobiographical shadows and intentions. Our themes, locations and observations are themselves symptomatic of the places we live in.

As Singaporeans, we often clamour after a colourful, yet conflicted identity. Our sense of belonging has been a natural, yet awkward consequence of post-colonial independence, strict authoritarian nation-building, and a passionate pursuit for good ethnic cuisine. When we travel we still have to explain to the sometimes-less-enlightened that we aren't 'a part of China' or 'Malaysia' or 'Thailand' - though we are near enough, but not quite. Not really.

We are a young country of many different origins meshed together in a small space. In some ways, we're still quite lost, still grasping at straws for our own stories, among our fellow countrymen, among our communities, and among our families. Technology and globalisation are widening the gulf between generations. The daily grind we call work is pulling us away from our children.

Our stories, when people can afford to tell them, have never been as disparate.

It's my pleasure to present these six films by six very talented young filmmakers, whose voices present a small but diverse palette of the Singaporean identity. You'll travel from the eyes of migrants both new and old, to children and military men finding their places in the world, and even to a cleverly self-aware local film set. 

I sincerely hope that you will enjoy this selection, many of which I think represent the new voices of filmmaking in Singapore today. Much kudos also goes to Brian, Clara and the rest of the Creative SINergy team for giving me this opportunity. Goodness knows how hard they've worked to bring this to you today.

In a not-so-tolerant society, Yu Jie's parents account their struggles with raising an autistic child. One may never guess that 10-year-old Yu Jie was once classified as a severely autistic child just a couple of years ago.

Synopsis:

A food critic unknowingly alters a young female chef's fate. Her path ironically echoes that of the food critic's son. Both daughter and son, in two vastly different families, uses food as a means to reconcile with their respective estranged parents.
In a food obsessed nation, the power of food manifests in our lives in a myriad of ways. A patronizing food critic unknowingly affects a female chef. Forced to question her culinary career, she re-examines her relationship with her hawker mum while the withdrawn young son of the critic uses food as a means of connecting with his father. The film depicts how the two different families confront their inner selves without them realizing how their lives intertwine.
