About Royston Tan
Tan, born in 1976, has been heralded as the latest cult icon for
Singapore cinema. Known for his distinctive knack for cinematic
narrative, original directorial style and an innate ability to
connect with his audience, he has collected over 43
international and local film awards. They include the ASEAN
Director of the Year (2001) at the 6th Malaysian Video Awards
and Young Artist of the Year (2002) from the Singapore National
Arts Council. The NETPAC-FIPRESCI Jury recognised Tan as one of
Asia's most promising talents in 2003 and TIME Magazine hailed
him as one of the "Top 20 Asian Heroes" in 2004 for being bold,
brave and remarkable in his field. A retrospective of his short
films has travelled to London, Chicago, Sapporo and Melbourne
with overwhelming response. |
