From documenting Singapore's everyday rituals in IN TIME TO COME (2017), to interviewing exiles in To Singapore, with Love (2013), Tan's films speak to gaps in the city’s history, memory, and documentation. According to Moviemaker magazine, “Self-examination—both its necessity and its limits—as well as the intersection between the personal and the public, are the thematic foundations to Tan’s work.” Her award-winning films include Singapore GaGa (2005), Invisible City (2007) and Pineapple Town (2015). www.tanpinpin.comAbout Amanda HengAmanda Heng is one of Singapore’s pioneering contemporary artists who is well known locally and internationally for her collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to artmaking.
