The first-ever #SingaporeFilmFestival in KL happening from 14th ~ 17th January 2016 at Pavilion KL & 1 Utama. Presenting 10 feature films from the late 90s till present, opens with the Malaysian premiere of 7 Letters (2015) – an emotive anthology by 7 of Singapore’s most illustrious filmmakers, celebrating the country’s 50th year of independence through the lives & stories of Singaporeans. Each ‘letter’ is intricately interwoven with memories, experiences, joys & woes which honest, sincere, unembellished. Yet through them all, the theme of home threads through.
1. “Cinema” directed by #EricKhoo; pays tribute to the Golden Age of Malay cinema in S'pore.
2. “That Girl” directed by #JackNeo; a heartwarming story about first loves set in a kampung.
3. “The Flame”directed by #KRajagopal; a very personal story about Rajagopal’s parents’ life-changing decision to stay in S'pore following the British’s withdrawal from the newly independent country.
4. “Bunga Sayang” directed by #RoystonTan; a profusion of nostalgia & a mini-musical extravaganza draped around a boy (#RayTanLiangYu) & his upstairs kueh-making makcik neighbour (#JRosmini).
5. “Pineapple Town” directed by #TanPinPin; Ning (#LydiaLook) is adamant on meeting the birth mother of her adopted daughter, a search that takes her to a small town in M'sia.
6. “Parting” directed by #BooJunfeng; a film that delves into themes of history, memory & aging. Ismail (#JAHalim) travels back to S'pore by train from M'sia in search of lost love.
7. “Grandma Positioning System (GPS)” directed by #KelvinTong; a heartwarming story on historical consciousness, family traditions & shared memories, it depicts the story of a young boy who travels with his family to Johor each year during Qing Ming to pay respects to his late grandfather.
