Singapore
Curated
by Silke Schmickl, curator and head of Lowave; and Nicole Brenez, film scholar and professor of cinema studies at the University of
Paris 3: Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris.
The Institute of
Contemporary Arts Singapore presents Singapore
by Singapore: From myth to neon realism, a screening of recent, rare, and
never-before-screened film and video. Tracing the evolution of Singapore ‘from mangrove to metropolis’, the films explore the
island through a range of mythical and personal perspectives. These include sunny
scenes of local sights in the 1960s, reflections on the
May 13 Generation and speculations about Singapore’s original founder,
the Srivijayan prince Sang Nila Utama.
