A sensuous, semi-fictional film installation that reconstructs the obscured life of Wan Hoi-Ling, who many have regarded as Singapore’s first female filmmaker. She co-directed Mutiara (1940), the first Singapore-Made Malay Talkie and made films focussed on nationhood. Working across Hong Kong and Singapore, she was imprisoned during the Japanese Occupation. Yet, her legacy has largely been buried—until now.
