Sinema December 22, 2009 Behind the Scenes, Columns, News, SINdie No Comments

SINdie is a blog that supports local films in its own unique ways and and they are planning something special for the year end on our blog, something that would be a useful resource for all in the film community as well.

It is like a ‘Who’s Shooting What?’ guide for 2010. So they want you to share some info on your ‘pet’ or key project of 2010. … Continue Reading

SINdie: Brother No. 2

SINdie: Brother No. 2

Having seen Jason’s ‘3 Feet Apart’ in the Singapore Shorts Collection Volume 1, makes ‘Brother No. 2′ a leap of a hundred feet from it. ‘3 Feet Apart’ is mind-tickling animation about a character who has a mobile phone growing out of his ear. “Brother No. 2′ is no-nonsense digging of history’s skeletons.

SINdie: Class of 2008 – See Who’s There!

SINdie: Class of 2008 – See Who’s There!

I propose to you a different way to look back at the Singapore films of 2008. Our memories of films may fade faster than we like to but unforgettable characters tend to stay with us in our minds. Instead of dishing out the stories all over again, I prefer to take a second look at the characters from the Singapore-made films that were hard to erase. And what a bunch of boys, women, uncles, ah mas and cross-dressers we’ve got on our plate, oops, my plate, to be exact.

SINdie: Tak Dong Cheng

SINdie: Tak Dong Cheng

Tak Dong Cheng is quite a flagship film of the Malay Filmmaker’s Society. It has been screened several times at various events, and I got to understand why at First Takes. Though I am not familiar with the ‘Bujang Lapok’ series, I know that it involves 3 men who get up to different antics, often off-tangent, enough to cpature the imagination of the audience.

SINdie: The High Cost of Living

SINdie: The High Cost of Living

A title that belies a rich cross-stitched fabric of relationships – that’s The High Cost of Living. It was easy to think that this movie might be about the pressures of living a 5Cs-obssessed Singapore. But my second brush with it proved not. I was watching a dark and action-packed trailer while buying popcorn at The Grand Cathay.

SINdie: ‘The Days’ – Gangsters in Moschino

SINdie: ‘The Days’ – Gangsters in Moschino

Expect nothing less when you have the blessing of 400 over extras. I heard it from the horse’s mouth Boi Kwong. This is Boi’s maiden feature film, about people close to his life as an ITE lecturer. These 400 extras, with some looing like coffeeshop aunties, turned up in several scenes whenever `brotherly’ help was needed, giving this gangster a lot of muscle.

SINdie: Singapore Short Cuts #5 Week 3: Caramel by Kelvin Ke

SINdie: Singapore Short Cuts #5 Week 3: Caramel by Kelvin Ke

I cannot resist a comment about casting Fish Chaar in a short film. He has a knack for certain roles and this one was again up his alley. While being puzzled by the meaning of the title, no time is wasted in establishing the abusiveness of the husband and the silenced and tortured state of his wife.

SINdie: Singapore Short Cuts #5 Week 3: Bedok Jetty by Boo Junfeng

SINdie: Singapore Short Cuts #5 Week 3: Bedok Jetty by Boo Junfeng

‘Bedok Jetty’ is another film produced for the National Museum’s Digital Homelands project. Deeply personal and esoteric, it is about a person’s lost love and his attachment to Bedok Jetty, a place he used to frequent with his old flame. In the film, a juxtaposition of actual location shots and a screen shot of an msn conversation is used.
