Take a voyeuristic, bottom-up view of the world in Slipper Story (2005)… Follow an entertainer-wannabe as she revives her long lost dream and dances to Rosemary Clooney’s Mambo Italiano in a kopitiam in Friday Morning (2005)… Uncover the alienating pain of proximity in Hedgehog’s Complex (2005)… And then ask yourself, as Goldfish (2005) does:
Can you ever get used to what it means to lose someone?
****
Take a step back and discover what really goes on behind closed doors…
Fetish 2006 invites you on a journey to explore the nature of the hidden desires of people, and the fascination with the process of generating a need for something, or someone.
Come join us at this exclusive showcase of this special selection of our films!
Synopsis of Films:
Goldfish
Lai Weijie, 2005
Singapore , an unspecified time. John, an introverted young man, wakes up the day after his breakup with his girlfriend May. He struggles with a sense of detachment, grappling with this new reality he faces. His battle to come to terms with his loss leads him to recall the times shared with May, and appreciate their newfound significance.
Slipper Story
Low Beng Kheng, 2005
Just how attached are we to our material possessions? How much of our lives are spent worrying over material things and how much is spent living in the present? Follow one fellow hostel tenant through a day in his life, his encounters with his fellow friends and family. A day in the life of a student living in Singapore, from a different perspective.
Friday Morning
Lim Jiaxuan Gillian, 2005
An entertainer-wannabe is possessed by her conscience-spirit one comfy, quiet Friday morning. She revives her long lost dream and dances to Rosemary Clooney’s Mambo Italiano in a kopitiam.
Do what you like. Be what you dream. Have fun. It’s a Friday morning.
Hedgehog’s Complex
Song Yizhuang, 2005
A darkly comical look at the lives of a group of neighbours in a university dormitory. The relationship between the four residents of Block 8 is polite, and despite being proximally close is somewhat superficial – yet highly functional. Meanwhile, behind those doors which shut each other out, each resident faces a turning point in their relationship with someone else who is emotionally close to them – with painful results.
