In 2004, he gained exclusive access to shoot a short film there when it was still closed to the public. Years later, he collected rows of the original seats to craft a poignant installation for the dance-film 'Ghosts of Capitol Theatre'. Additionally, Capitol Theatre became a significant memory site in the documentary 'Old Places', co-created with Eva Tan and Victric Thng. In 2015, when the theatre reopened its doors, Tan's short film 'Bunga Sayang' was featured in the anthology '7 Letters', premiering at the newly restored cinema.Tonight, marks Tan's long-awaited return to Capitol Theatre to screen these films for the first time, coinciding with the cinema's 94th anniversary this month. This special event serves as a singular opportunity to honor Capitol Theatre, one of Singapore's few remaining standalone cinema spaces. After the films Tan will discuss the building's significance, the enchantment of cinema-going, and sharing space with the ghosts of nearly a century's worth of cinematic dreams.This event is part of the 'Cinema Reclaimed: DREAM PALACES' program, presented in collaboration with Chuan Pictures and Capitol Singapore.Please take note of the following:- Once all slots are filled, no walk-ins will be accepted.- No exchange of tickets is allowed under any circumstance except for programme cancellation.- Kindly arrive 15 minutes before the start of the programme.- Electronic or printed ticket(s) must be presented in order to join this tour.- All ticket sales are final. There will be no refund if you wish to cancel your tickets.- Seats are based on first-come, first-served and is free seating.- No photography, videography or voice recording of the screening is allowed.- By agreeing to join the programme, each participant shall be responsible for any injury, loss or damage due to carelessness or other actions on their part or that of children under their charge.- Videos and photographs may also be taken during the event.
