Live On Film Competition

The “Live On Short Film Competition”, organised by the Ministry of Health (MOH), aims to raise awareness of organ donation amongst the youth in a meaningful and creative way using an emotive platform to engage people at all levels. Through creative story-telling, we hope the short films can promote discussion on organ donation and address some of the concerns regarding organ donation.

Every year, there are more than 500 patients waiting to receive a life-saving transplant in Singapore. For these patients, the wait is not only agonising but also emotionally draining. We hope the films can convey the importance of organ donation and how a life-saving transplant can change the lives of patients in need. Through the films, we also hope to encourage discussions on altruistic living organ donations, and how all of us have the power to help our family and loved ones should they require an organ transplant.

Organ donation is also an emotional issue with many concerns on the ground. For example, some may be less open towards the idea of organ donation because of set beliefs and traditional values, while others may have certain misconceptions on organ donation. Participants are encouraged to think about some of these issues and discuss them in their films.

Participants are required to send in their original script and proposed production budget by 16th August at www.liveonfilms.sg. Five teams with the best short film proposal will be selected in August and be given up to $3,000 funding plus the prize of a Seagate external hard-drive each for the production of the short films. In addition, the selected teams will participate in a mentoring workshop with renowned Director Royston Tan. The teams will be given two months for the production of the films. All final works are to be submitted by 30 November on the Seagate external hard drive which will be returned to them after the competition. The final winner will be announced in December.

Production Talk - 'Labour Day' by He Shuming

Synopsis

Cik visits her old flat to collect rent from her two foreign worker tenants who are on their way to work – Zoe, a frumpy 30-year old Malaysian Chinese whose second application to be a Singapore citizen has just been rejected, and Purple, a study-mama from China, who is hiding a secret from her 12 year-old son.
LABOUR DAY is a quirky and quiet observation of how one goes to great lengths to pursue a better life in a city obsessed with progress and change.

*****

What inspired you to create this film?

It was initially an idea of making a Singaporean film with non-Singaporean characters. Most of the time when I try to write something, I turn to my mother who's always provided me with much inspirations unknowingly. This is very much a story about women who are mothers, daughters, sisters and wannabe actresses.


How did you go about casting?

We sent out casting calls online, scour through drama groups, etc. Jasmine Koh (Zoe) is a theatre actress from Young & W!ld. Xiang Ling auditioned for Traces (another graduating short film) and we invited her to audition for the role of Purple. Zaliha (Cik) is a veteran TV actress known for her roles in Malay dramas, she was the Chinese opera singing macik in Chicken Rice War. I found the little boy from my alma mater, Maris Stella High School - there are plenty of Mainland Chinese students in the school's table tennis team.




Any interesting anecdotes to share about the production?

One of the other characters of the film was the spaces these characters occupied. The film was mainly set in Hougang New Town, where I grew up. The rainbow flat's been there for ages and in fact, the neighbourhood hasn't changed much. Well, it is an opposition ward but I think that's the nice thing about a neighbourhood that doesn't get upgraded much. There's something tranquil about it and you get a mix of foreign workers from Malaysia and China, new immigrants from India as well as your usual Singaporeans. There is something less 'plastic' about this suburbs than most HDB neighbourhoods.

When we were shooting at People's Park, we had to devise a plan to make sure people aren't going to stare into the cameras. The scene was when Purple solicited at People's Park, known to be a popular area where old retirees and women from Mainland China, well, hang out and be friends. It was a small crew that day - just me, my DP, his CA, and the AD with the actress Xiang Ling (who was dressed quite provocatively). The camera would be placed far away from Xiang Ling while she's instructed by the AD (who's on the phone with me) as she walked around, watched hawkers selling their wares, etc. She was approached by a few men, some whom were pimps, asking her if she had an 'agent' and how much her rates were. Xiang Ling was such a trooper, playing along and being in character.


What were your biggest challenges in making this film?

Hmmm, to bring out the realism out of the actors and make these characters believable. The very fact that these characters who are very real people, and portrayed by professional actors was a challenge.

For Jasmine especially, it was hard for her because she doesn't speak Malay and had to learn her line phonetically before progressing further in rehearsals. That was initially a problem for me, to have a Singaporean Chinese actress portray a Malaysian Chinese. But I realized it could be interesting to see if those differences between a Singaporean and a Malaysian. I guess in a way, not everyone were convinced. Well, the audience can decide for themselves I guess.


Any future plans after graduating from The Puttam School of Film, LASALLE?

I'm currently working on my reel for TVCs, looking at other types of collaborations and writing my next short film.

I need to get out of Singapore for awhile, I think. There are plenty of stories to be told here but sometimes we need to look at it from the outside. But realistically I will need to work for awhile first. We will see. :)

First Takes - 'For Rent' by Goh Moy Yen

One day, one room HDB flats will be the bane of student films. It would be a zone forbidden by film lecturers who will mark your thesis film down for lazy choice of premise. 'For Rent' interviews 2 sets of people who stay in one-room rented HDB flats - one is an ah ma and the other is a Malay family of a few children. The common thread is that they have been evicted somehow from their previous residence by HDB and are forced to seek shelter that elsewhere.

The straight-laced documentary features these people in a set of interviews, interspersed with each other. Treading on extremely safe grounds, it takes us through their issues in logical fashion, seeking to open up the audience's minds to a different world such as this. Between the 2 stories, Ah Ma is the more forgettable with its familiar themes of old-age poverty and neglect. The second story captures more of our imagination because of it portrays an anomaly - over 10 people squeezed into a small HDB flat. On a personal note, it rakes up memories of living in the 70s or 80s where it is not uncommon to be sharing sleeping space with your siblings or cousins on a few sheets of mattresses placed together end to end.

Blissful as it seems, the film does not forget its bittersweet point - that the father of the household, which is borrowing their relatives' premises, hopes to give his family their own flat one day. The film had its poignant moments but it does not add anything to a collective understanding of this brand of poverty. We have seen these stories before and what's worse is the Malay stereotype of big familes and small budgets being played out again. While ghetto films never seem to go out of fashion, the filmmaker could certainly do with less format and a lot more angle.

First Takes - 'The Unnamed Feeling' by Ler and Lip

'The Unnamed Feeling' never fails to come back to haunt me. I first saw this quirky piece online and then at the Singapore Short Film Awards early this year. The likely first impression anyone would get from watching it is you don't think the filmmakers want to be taken too seriously. It is funny but only as funny as the standard 'blokely' humour you get at a beer table, or even your secondary classroom skit. But watching it for the third (and I swear final time), it had a little effect on me.

This black and white, digital-looking film follows the post-break up journey of a young man. There is nothing new in the way he deals with his loss except for the fact that he can't stop crying or rather becomes prone to letting his tears roll at the slightest hint of disappointment. Other than that, the entire film feels lazily put together because there is hardly anything that recreates cinematic value. The easiest thing to remember from the film is a scene where a girl hurls a bouquet of roses on the man and while doing that, we see how he curls up like a pitiful dog. It is memorable especially to the guys because it is a male-ego bruising moment.

The twist in my appreciation of the film comes in the ending. Our lead basically finds a solution to his problem. In a genuinely funny exchange between him and an old female friend, he sees a certain oblique way out. This is one instance where the 'I am a financial planner' line carries a worthy weight in humour and dramatic effect. With this, I rest my case against my unnamed feeling about this film but swear that I hope not to bump into it at another screening.

First Takes - 'Water' by Yenn Teo

Here is a film that tries to marry the conceptual with the narrative and does it with panache. Playing around a range of visual metaphors related to water, it romanticises a often heard story of longing for love among our foreign labourers. And in a way, humanises them.

The foreign location of the film (kampung and farm-scapes), makes it easy to forget that it was made by a Singaporean, one who is attentive to the lesser observed things around us. Quite delightfully, it takes the foreign worker story back to its lusher and more idyllic homeland, avoiding the drab construction landscape or the unimaginative choice of the HDB hovel. In his rural fishing village, Ah Shui (notice the water pun, 'shui' is water in Chinese) lives a modest life with his newly-wed wife Ah Shan. It was not long before pristine nature of their village becomes easily overshadowed by the lure of money in bigger foreign places, especially when the poverty cliche hits. Hence, the start of Ah Shui's journey to Singapore.

This is where Yenn Teo, the director has 'reftro-fitted' foreign labourer's story. She does not repeat their woes like a lobbying video, instead she keeps the anecdotes of suffering short but succinct. There was a particular shot of Ah Shui frozen in a moment of dejection after being told off by his employer. The moment was a just token reference to the hardship he faced but it was pregnant with a lot of pain, like a haiku. In fact, the film's visual poetry and aesthetics highlights another dimension of the the worker's thoughts - the romanticism that he yearns for and cannot get.

An interesting comparison can be made between Han Yew Kwang's 'The Call Home' and 'Water'. Both deal with the plight of foreign workers in Singapore but using different approaches. 'The Call Home', one of Singapore's pioneering short films, takes the worker's story more literally and linearly while 'Water' is more contemplative and figurative. It is strange that "Water' despite having won a best female director award in 6th Sedicicorto Film Festival in Italy has not been featured more prominently. Standing against the other First Takes that were more local in their content, it certainly had less appeal with the crowd but it is not difficult for anyone who takes a closer look at 'Water' to see its glimmer.

Kate Moss certainly lives the champagne lifestyle.

At one point she even took a bite from an ice cream - just the one though - she is a supermodel, after all.Kate, 35, wore a retro denim and red gingham bikini, accessorised with a large diamond on her right hand.She then topped up her tan by pulling off her bikini top in favour of a sarong, while her female friends were equally relaxed about stripping off.

The group included Yves Saint Laurent designer Stefano Pilati, who photographed the topless sunbathers onboard the yacht.
Kate then got behind the lens to snap some shots of her friends, before they laughingly admired her handiwork.The model and rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince, guitarist for The Kills, later embraced as they enjoyed a dip in the sea.Kate and Jamie are on holiday with a large group of friends, and Kate's six-year-old daughter Lila Grace.

'Steadfast' by David Liu and Linus Chen

If anyone was looking for a truly unique or refreshing proposition to the Singapore film scene, Steadfast certainly set out with a vengeance to tick some of the boxes.

A crew of men clad in black suits and shades stand opposite the former Supreme Court as a motorcade of BMWs pull up by the side. A bodyguard (presumably) surveys his surrounds before ushering a dignitary into the car.

Nope - the VIP in view is not a member of our country’s ruling party, but rather a businessman being protected from a group of assassins. Yup – right in the heart of Singapore.

Billed as an action film to break new ground in Singapore, Steadfast fulfils in-part the curiosity of the audience. Gun-slinging and battle scenes complete with fist-fights between renegade and assassin, contrasted to a boardroom where a high-level discussion reaches a stalemate, work to satiate the appetite of the action film junkie and keep the rest of us on the edge of our seats.

This, coupled with the plot’s decent pacing from conflict to climactic end, makes this 36-minute action-packed film a watchable treat.

To say however, that Steadfast is a film of epic proportions in breaking new ground may be taking it a tad too far.

Whether it was the shaky camera work in the characters’ gunfight dashes (presumably an intentional technique), the disorienting and repeated cuts from individuals’ furrow-browed expressions to boardroom shots (we get it, they are perplexed), or the ‘I’ve-seen/heard-that-somewhere-before’ action film clichés, one is often left having to piece together the plot’s structure rather than being hooked to the film’s otherwise decent pacing.

Plot distractions aside, one too felt the impact of key scenes was diluted due to perhaps a detachment from reality. Perhaps it was inevitable given the film’s billing as the local action film to look out for, but gun-battle scenes where with gratuitous triggering to hunt down all-of one character were a little too overwhelming to turn a blind eye to. At times it felt like the weapons in hand – which to be fair, looked and sounded realistic enough for an audience not to cringe – were the main stars of the show as opposed to the men wielding them.

Still, all things considered, you feel the filmmaker-duo who wrote/directed Steadfast - David Liu and Linus Chen, deserve much credit for their work. Not lest due to the constraints of a tight production budget and the near-impossible (at least on our island) hype and billing of a breakthrough action film on local shores.

Here’s wishing this will serve but a stepping stone for these filmmakers and more to explore the road/genre-less-travelled in the name of bringing Singapore film to the world stage.

SINdie conquers the Big Apple!

Over late June/early July, we wanted to start conquering the world by planting SINdie's flag in the Big Apple. So here we were standing proud in the middle of Times Square in the summer heat of New York.No. Grace and I were really just in New York for a holiday at almost the same time coincidentally. Close but not close enough. We missed each other by about a week. So we decided to each take a picture in the world's capital of billboards and logos - Times Square. And here is the result. Surely there is space in this billboard capital for SINdie yeah?
