BooksActually presents Old Places / DVD Launch
Old Places, a documentary directed by Singaporean filmmakers Royston Tan, Victric Thng and Eva Tang, first screened on Okto on the eve of National Day 2010. Featuring the voices of Singaporeans recalling their memories of disappearing places in Singapore, it recorded the highest ratings for any documentary screened this year and received an overwhelming number of requests from the public. As a result, Okto arranged a repeat screening on Tuesday 24th August.
Nostalgic, sentimental and at times, gently admonishing, this is a film that every Singaporean should see. Amidst Singapore’s rapid urban development, these spaces are our memories, our history, and our loss.
“I want to archive these places before they are lost forever.”
− Royston Tan
