The starting point and main site of State of Motion will feature a pop-up exhibition curated by the Singapore Film Locations Archive, focusing on the golden era of the Cathay-Keris Studio and the important landmarks related to this slice of history.
As the highlight of the programme, the minibus tours will kick off with a presentation of short excerpts from selected Cathay-Keris films, including iconic titles like Chinta Kaseh Sayang (My Darling Love, 1965), Korban Fitnah (Victim of Slander, 1959), Mat Tiga Suku (Mat Crazy, 1965), Che Mamat Parang Tumpol (Black Hand Gang, 1960) and Sumpah Pontianak (The Curse of Pontianak, 1958).
The tour will continue to five filming locations from the films, ranging from the former Kampongs in Siglap, to the old Outram Prison and the iconic Queen Elizabeth Walk. Each stop will feature a site-specific art work, created by Singapore-based artists Cain Chui, Mark Thia, Hafiz Osman, Stephanie Jane Burt and Mike HJ Chang.
State of Motion is happening on 16, 17, 23, 24 January at various locations around the Bras Brasah Bugis vicinity. There are 10 tours per day (3 hours each) at $12 per ticket. Limited to 11 pax per tour.
This event is part of Singapore Art Week 2016.
