Asian Film Archive Collection: Royston’s Shorts showcases the
filmmaker’s body of short films. From an homage to a soon-to-be
demolished kopitiam in
Hock Hiap Leong, to a son’s tribute to
his parents in
Sons, they reveal a softer, more personal side of
Royston Tan. The DVD features his latest short film,
Monkeylove,
which was shot in Japan.
Also featured in the DVD is a 25-minute
Interview with Royston
Tan where he discusses some of his short films and stylistic
influences. Another highlight is the inclusion of rarely seen
films like
4A Florence Close, a film about his family’s move
from their home at the height of the financial crisis.
This is the second DVD published by the Asian Film Archive. Last
year marked the release of
Asian Film Archive Collection:
Singapore Shorts, a compilation of 9 award-winning short films
by filmmakers such as Tan Pin Pin, Wee Li Lin and Bertrand Lee. |
