An animated anthology of 5 short films about life, love and the landscapes of Singapore past and present. With virtually no dialogue, each film is accompanied by a musical score and aims to show how our living landscapes and surroundings intertwine with our memories and imagination. Stories include a childhood romance that blossomed amongst the bookshelves of an old library; a fantasy adventure where a girl meets a cat who brings her into the underbelly of a night market; a nostalgic look at the playgrounds of our youth and the bittersweet simplicity of life; a tale about solitude and serendipity during an afternoon rain in the city, and an old violin's journey that spans 80 years of Singapore’s past.Director's Statement: I believe our lives, memories and imagination are deeply intertwined with our living landscapes. For a small nation like Singapore with a relatively short history, balancing conservation of its heritage sites and urban development is often a difficult challenge. Heritage isn't about tearing things down and building monuments for them - it's a living thing passed on through stories, and our heritage sites and landscapes provide an important backdrop for those narratives. While these films are, at their heart, about innocent times and the bittersweet simplicity of life, they're also a paean to the places in Singapore I remember growing up in and love letters to my home.

Fifteen Singapore filmmakers are coming together in a ground-up effort to show a lesser-told side of Singaporeans from the 1970s to the 1990s.This was a time when news headlines focused on Singapore’s growth as a nation and on bread-and-butter issues; a time when we strove hard and persevered as a people. A time when Singaporeans earned labels of being hardworking, conscientious, and law-abiding, almost to a fault.Through 15 Shorts, a collaboration between the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) and Blue3Asia, the 15 film directors will provide an alternative perspective to the nation-building narratives of the era. They will tell true stories of Singaporeans who performed powerful acts of selflessness between the 1970s and 1990s. These are slice-of-life stories that reveal how this human, giving side has always been a part of us.These true stories were uncovered through various archival sources and interviews. The 15 film directors come from a wide range of creative backgrounds and inclinations. They range from the acclaimed and experienced, those presently making a name for themselves, to young filmmakers who show promise and potential:Eric Khoo, Kelvin Tong, K. Rajagopal, Boo Junfeng, Kirsten Tan, Chai Yee Wei, Randy Ang, Daniel Yam, Sean Ng, Nicole Midori Woodford, Gladys Ng, Kee Swee San, Jian Hao Tan, Chong Yu Lun, and Jason Lee. In the spirit of giving, each director will dedicate his or her film to a charity in Singapore. Working with NVPC, the directors have curated a list of charities that cover a spectrum of needs, including support for the elderly, people with autism, and migrant workers. We hope the films move Singaporeans to support these worthy causes. Find out more about each charity at this website.The short films will be released in an integrated online-offline approach, on the 15 shorts microsite, and will appear on the big screen, broadcast, and various digital platforms, thanks to our kind partners Filmgarde, Mediacorp, Viddsee and Singapore Airlines.The project is supported by Our Singapore Fund, and is in support of SG Cares, a national movement to support efforts of ground-up volunteerism in Singapore, to build a more caring and inclusive home for all.
