Invisible City (2007)
Douban
other title: 备忘录
《备忘录》在新加坡公映后,被认为是一部所有新加坡人都应该看的电影,因为“新加坡人已经逐渐失去了真正本土性的集体记忆,而被环球村的生活记忆所取代”。该片不仅是城市风情画,导演要透过访谈和跟拍,带领观众穿透现代化的华美包装,走进新加坡普通民众的生活,让我们看到这个国家有多么多元的民族组合,又有多么丰富的生活底蕴。陈彬彬的《备忘录》,备的是即将“被忘”的新加坡的过去——老人家逐渐消逝的记忆、残旧而即将被报销的旧影片胶卷、政治力量笼罩下的自我检查。它以知性的影像让不同的历史场景进行对望,让历史记忆得以穿梭于轻松与严肃之间,本片对亚洲整体的历史叙事来说,有着新的启示与激发。

新加坡风 (2005)
Singapore Gaga Douban
other title: Singapore Gaga
Singapore GaGa is a 55-minute paean to the quirkiness of the Singaporean aural landscape. It reveals Singapore's past and present with a delight and humour that makes it a necessary film for all Singaporeans. We hear buskers, street vendors, school cheerleaders sing hymns to themselves and to their communities. From these vocabularies (including Arabic, Latin, Hainanese), a sense of what it might mean to be a modern Singaporean emerges. This is Singapore's first documentary to have a cinema release. With English and Chinese subtitles.
