These films offer vignettes of introspection and retrospection, of the public and private, extending our exploration of relationships through various forms of visual language. This programme is part of A Weekend with The Everyday Museum, organised by The Everyday Museum, a public art initiative by Singapore Art Museum. Parting by Boo Jun Feng (13 mins)An elderly man travels to Singapore via the Keratapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) express to look for an old flame whom he has lost contact with. Parting is one of seven short films in 7 Letters, an anthology commissioned in 2015 to commemorate Singapore’s 50th year of independence. Take Pause by Ma YueRu (8 mins)What are the things that you start to see and listen to? What are the things that are present and absent? Through vignettes of domestic experiences, Take Pause brings to the fore themes of comfort and discomfort, making the familiar unfamiliar to keep the viewer in a sensory imbalance, as we grapple with feelings of hyper-stimulation post-lockdown. Tenebrae by Nicole Midori Woodford (17 mins)On the last day for the residents to vacate a high-rise apartment before its demolishment, a young girl, Iris, and her mother are moving out. On a tight deadline, her boyfriend and his friend are also present to help. Iris inevitably gets distracted exploring the vacant spaces of her neighbours, relishing the moment. As they pull away in the rental truck for the last time, Iris sits in the back with her boyfriend, surrounded by her furniture. She allows a small ray of light to penetrate the darkness of the truck. The images of the outside world appear on the interior of the truck; they watch the inverted building before it eventually disappears forever. Waiting Room by Nicole Midori Woodford (19 mins) Not everyone has someone by their side when they have to pass on from the world of the living to the dead. One man has opened up his life to help these who are all alone in their last hour and sought to show them grace. His flat becomes a waiting room of sorts, one with a collection of dozens of watches; their last possessions that are not allowed to travel with them to the afterlife.
