documentaries, the screenings during this year's Archifest hopes to inspire us to
imagine what our future holds. Will we sit and watch the dystopian visions in these films become
a reality or do we find inspiration in the societies who have managed to
appropriate contested spaces, re-allocate resources and re-imagine how we
live? What is the future you imagine for
this city?Come by the Archifest
festival village at 79 & 81 Neil Road, from 26 Sep to 10 Oct for this
series of free screenings. Archifest would also like to invite everyone to experience through film, the
warmth of our relationships with the environment and with each other, through
the screenings of Singapore productions Old Places and Old Romances,
documentaries directed by Royston Tan, Eva Tang and Victric Thng.27 Sep (Sun) - Archifilms Screening:
Old Places《老地方》 | 4.30 pm - 5.50 pm “I want to archive these places before
they are lost forever.” – Royston TanThrough a collection of the public's memories of various locations
around Singapore, this film takes us on a journey through personal experiences
that made these spaces... places. Each of us has probably a sense of
attachment to some place that has already been, or will soon be razed to the
ground and redeveloped. In this "future" that we are here
today to imagine, what place do these "old places" have in our city? 27 Sep (Sun) - Archifilms Screening:
Old Romances《老情人》| 6.00 pm - 7.05 pm“Old Places are like old lovers to me,
you never forget them.” - Royston TanA sequel to "Old Places", "Old Romances" once
again brings together to memories of ordinary Singaporeans. Everyday spaces
become layered with stories and recollections, begging the question, what will
become of these places and memories? Will they be lost forever? How can we
re-imagine a future for our city without overlooking the creation and
preservation of memories, and fostering a sense of attachment?(Photos by Chuan Pictures)
