The Singapore Memory Project’s first-ever film festival will be headlined by Royston Tan’s ‘Old Friends’. The festival celebrates various aspects of the Singaporean way of life through film. Three other films by irememberSG Fund recipients Wee Li Lin, Ervin Han and Sun Koh will also be featured.

Explore the various facets of Singaporean life through the ages with films such as ‘Old Friends’, which features the stories of those who who pioneered the rich, authentic flavours of traditional Singaporean cuisine; ‘Centrepoint Kids’, which is centred around the lively youth subculture which permeated the mall in the 1980s; ‘Kway Chap’ in which a young woman in Northern Europe finds herself making this titular dish without ever learning it from her hawker parents, and ‘The Violin’, an animated short film retelling our nation’s past, struggles and journey.

When not writing about lifestyle and culture, he dabbles in photography, graphic design, plays four instruments and is a professional wearer of bowties. His greatest weakness: spending more money on clothes than he probably should. Find him across the social world as @grimlay
