Synopsis of Films:
| Waiting (2007) |

Director: Maybelline Teo ; Producer: Seah Aik Hoe
Anything can happen in the unpredictably fickle game of love. You can be as snug as puppies one day and cold as ice the next. LING falls for JAMES whom she thinks is the perfect guy for her. But when this fairytale romance takes a turn for the worse, Ling falls into an abyss of sleepless nights and finds herself playing the tormenting game of waiting. Will she continue to get trapped in the lost relationship, clinging onto lost hope, waiting for the call that will never come, pining for the Prince Charming who will never return? |
| Pardon Me (2007) |
 |
Director: Darrell Wee ; Producer: Melinda Tan
A life lost. A brotherhood betrayed. KIERAN struggles to accept the return of his brother KENNETH from prison. The night before KENNETH’s release, KIERAN goes on a joyride in his father’s car – only to pick up a mysterious passenger who helps him remember the symbiotic kinship he once treasured with his brother. Forgiveness is difficult, but worth it. |

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.
