https://youtu.be/AdXU7mA3bZUShuttle LifeTan Seng Kiat / Malaysia2017 / 91 minutes / Cantonese, Mandarin, Malay (with English subtitles)  / M18 / Coarse LanguageSynopsisA hard-hitting social drama, this is a powerful portrait of an impoverished family trying to cope with tragedy and mental illness in a very divided society, where bureaucracy, corruption, and indifference reign supreme. There isn't much Qiang can do to make life better for his mentally unstable mother and five-year-old sister Hui Shan. He can steal spare parts and sell them at the repair shop. He can roam the big city on his motorcycle, in search of water to bring back home to fuel his mother's obsessive need to wash clothes. He loves his family, dysfunctional as it is, and has a special bond with his little sister, but a sense of impending danger — vividly conveyed by Tan's assured mise en scène — is Qiang's daily companion, as if tragedy could strike any minute. And on the night of his sister's sixth birthday, it does."Bold and unsentimental in its portrait of a young man who faces the destruction of the family he struggles to support, Shuttle Life marks a finely crafted feature debut for short-film director Tang Seng Kiat.” — Deborah Yong, Hollywood Reporter2017 Malaysian Film Festival Winner for Special Jury Award2017 Shanghai International Film Festival Winner for Asian New Talent — Best Film Silence Is Not GoldenPei Si Wong / Singapore2018 /  6 minutes / English / PGSynopsisThe majority of people who have come into contact with Nigel, for a large part of his life, have never heard him speak. He suffers from Selective Mutism, a rare anxiety disorder which severely affects his ability to speak under certain circumstances.Based on the real-life story of Nigel Ng, a young Singaporean, Silence Is Not Golden sheds light on his extraordinary journey, giving the audience an insight into his inner world.“Often we tend to judge others very fast but Pei Si showed us being a little understanding can bring a phenomenal change in the life of others. With the power of her art, she puts forward the message of solidarity and how our little actions can be a ray of hope in the lives of people in need.” — Neha Yeshvi, Medium 2018 Todos Somos Otros Nomination for Best Student Short Film2018 12th Annual Short Shory Film Festival (Selected) 2018 Community Film & Theatre Festival (Selected) 2018 Festival de Cinema Escolar de Alvorada (Selected) Director's websiteMental Health Care at HomeSocial inequality is real in Singapore. Individuals from the lowest of the social strata often face a multitude of stressor and are marginalized because of their disadvantaged position. This is especially so for those with, or are caring for someone with mental illness - where their lack of financial resources and knowledge of the illness hinders them from seeking timely treatment. This can land them in stressful situations which can be frustrating for both themselves and others. Furthermore, the stressors faced by low-income families are often amplified through the lack of empathy regarding their circumstances - which arguably has its roots in a divided society.In this panel discussion, we will examine the relationship between mental health and social stratification in Singapore, and aim to highlight the importance of social inclusion in health promotion. We will also address legal matters relating to persons with mental illness – especially in situations where court appearance is necessary. Additionally, the panel will also share on available resources for low-income families (ultimately, they too, deserve the right to adequate care and treatment!).(L-R Nazhath Faheema, Leeran Gold, Helen Yong, Atikah Amalina, Siew Hong Wong)Moderator:Nazhath Faheema is a known Singaporean youth leader, and is currently the Chairperson for Jamiyah Singapore Youth Group (JYG).
