PERSPECTIVES FILM FESTIVAL
The Film Lovers' Guide to Living Well

Bask in the nostalgia of the good old days, when bell-bottoms were fashionable and going to the movies was indulgent.

From 31st March to 4th of April at the National Museum of Singapore, Perspectives '08 presents the classics from the Golden Era of Singapore cinematic history. Over a period of five days, be touched, inspired and entertained by the imaginative works of yesteryear.

Get ready your pen and paper, as the films dispense pointers on living a good life. Come laugh, cry, scream and sigh with us!

About the Festival
Perspectives Film Festival is organised by the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, NTU in partnership with the National Museum of Singapore. The student-led festival is part of the new curriculum in the school which aims to expose students to greater hands-on experience beyond the classroom.

Film Screening Information

31 March (Indoor screening at Gallery Theatre, 7.30pm)
Lion City
Dir: Yi Sui
1960 / Singapore / 105 min / Beta / PG

Widely regarded as the first Chinese-language film produced in Singapore, Lion City stands out among the Malay movies in the Studio Era. A delicate romance between two young lovers from different backgrounds plays out amid political and societal change. The movie also features numerous panoramic and travelling shots of Singapore in the sixties, providing a nostalgic journey through the Singapore streets.

01 April (Indoor screening at Gallery Theatre, 7.30pm)
Tun Fatimah
Dir: Salleh Ghani
1962 / Singapore / 98 min / Beta / PG

Based on a historical personality, the film translates Tun Fatimah's drive and high-spiritedness into the eponymous character's desire to uncover the truth behind her family's unjust death. Alluding to the feminist movement, the women in the movie display resilience and a fighting spirit which rivals the men around them. The portrayal of the rowdy Portuguese also signals the director's anti-colonialism sentiments.

02 April (Indoor screening at Gallery Theatre, 7.30pm)

Sumpah Pontianak

Dir: B.N. Rao
1958 / Singapore / 83 min / Beta / PG

The third of the original trilogy made by B.N. Rao in the 1950s, Sumpah Pontianak is also the last surviving one. Originally a feared spirit in Malayan folklore, the pontianak in the film takes on an anti-hero role, protecting her daughter even as she needs to feed on the blood of the living. Despite its rubber masks and oversized fangs, the legacy of the legend of pontianak remains today, with much credit to these films, where it all began.

03 April (Indoor screening at Gallery Theatre, 7.30pm)
Hang Jebat

Dir: Hussain Haniff
1960 / Singapore / 123 min / Beta / TBA

Hang Jebat, with his unconditional love for Hang Tuah, seeks revenge on the Sultan of Malacca for the unjust execution of his blood brother. In a twist of fate, Hang Tuah who escapes the execution kills Hang Jebat under the Sultan's order. The film was controversial at the time for its heroic depiction of Hang Jebat defying the Sultan. But, it was also a box-office hit, garnering great acclaim from critics and the public alike.

04 April (FREE Outdoor screening, 8pm)
Seniman Bujang Lapok
Dir: P. Ramlee
1961 / Singapore / 119 min / Beta / PG

A parody of the film-making industry in the Studio Era, Seniman Bujang Lapok chronicles the trials and tomfooleries of the three bachelors who aspire to be movie stars in this installment of the Bujang Lapok series. The humour of their struggles in their careers and lives hides the latent anxiety of the common folk in a time of rapid change. The film also brings us to the Malay Film Productions' studio at Jalan Ampas, treating the audience to rare footages of the actual Shaw Brothers production studios in Singapore.

[MI Link] The Arena 2

The Arena Season 2 has started on Channel 5. Did you watch the crossfire between RI and St Nicolas? Personally, I think that RI team was better last year. The short Indian boy was quite sharp when he shot the POIs. Intellectually 'stimulating'. >:P
The 3rd girl, Claire Tan from St. Nicks was the best speaker IMHO. Apart from her feisty approach, the points she brought up was supported with good examples whereas the RI speakers made a lot of assumptions. St. Nicks could have won if they pointed out those baseless comments during POI. However, the first speaker wasted a lot of time.

Despite some of the weakness pointed out, The Arena is a good starting ground to learn about how to structure an argument as well as how to critique arguments. The teams selected had to auditioned to get to the preliminary rounds. The 3 judges (supposedly unbiased) will give their (not so in-depth) critique for their mark allocation.
