In her debut feature film, Wales based writer/director Rungano Nyoni explores the unusual topic of witch hunting with a deft hand, wry humour and surreal shots of Zambia. Opening with a scene of tourists visiting a ‘witch camp’, snapping photos and kids pointing excitedly at the seated … Continue reading Perspectives Film Festival 2017: I Am Not A Witch dir.

Perspectives Film Festival 2017: La Haine dir. Mathieu Kassovitz (1995)

Mathieu Kassovitz’s modern social realist classic La Haine (1995) returns to the big screen in Singapore this Thursday as part of the 10th Perspectives Film Festival. Shot in black and white and playing at Alliance Francaise (naturally), there’s a surprising relevance to the film that still rings true even today.

Spirited Away: Meeting the Team Behind L’arietta’s Purgatory

Stepping into their rehearsal space at UWCSEA, we watch the members of L’arietta’s upcoming production of Purgatory already in the midst of a jovial conversation, easily cracking jokes with each other while chatting animatedly. It’s the very image of a happy family, and we were taken with how in sync the entire group felt at first sight.
