Lineup

  • Two Chinese immigrant youths on the verge of graduation drift between dreams, cyberspace, and real-world Singapore, seeking solace from their mounting anxieties about the future through copious amounts of conversation.

  • Mahia, a housewife, is caught in a suffocating arranged marriage. Following the disappearance of their son, she ventures into a mysterious forest. Instead, she encounters a young woman and finds herself lost in endless conversations, ontological introspection, and eventually reconnects with her feminine identity through ecological healing.

  • Alex, a struggling actor and part-time taxi driver, dreams of stardom while being ensnared by financial woes and familial duties. Balancing on the delicate edge between his own aspirations and his responsibilities towards his wife and son, Alex finds himself at a pivotal crossroads.

  • As part of his tribe's rite of passage, a young hunter has to prove his worth by hunting down a great beast. However, amidst navigating the hunt and the rituals of his tribe, he confronts his struggles with coming of age, self doubt, and reconciling one's actions with one's conscience.

  • An overworked Entymologist's obsession with moths leads to the ingestion of a mysaterious mould, catalysing a surreal descent into self-annihilation through futile attempts at purification.
