By Chew Tee Pao Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love (2000). David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia (1962). Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times (1936). Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali(1955). These are just a handful of canonical works by the auteurs of world cinema that have been digitally restored in the last 10 years. In 2012, the World Cinema Project and the ...
For films that are in poor condition and at risk of being lost completely due to deterioration, restoration is the most immediate intervention to salvage the film. While “preserved” and “restored” are often used interchangeably in stories about rereleased and restored classic films, the terms are not synonymous. Veteran film archivist Ray Edmondson...
In 2014, the AFA began its restoration efforts of the Cathay-Keris films. Two works were identified: Sultan Mahmood Mangkat Dijulang (1961, K.M. Basker) and Gado Gado(1961, S. Roomai Noor). These were chosen because they were in the worst condition. Mould and chemical decay had affected the prints, resulting in severe warpage and shrinkage of the m...
Unlike the Cathay-Keris Malay Classics Collection that the AFA has been preserving since 2007, very few titles from Shaw Brothers’ MFP have survived on film. The first MFP film that the AFA encountered was a surviving 16 mm print of Patah Hati(1952, K.M. Basker), which starred a young P. Ramlee in one of his first major roles. The print was critica...
In the course of restoring Patah Hati, the AFA stumbled upon a surviving 35 mm film print of Permata Di-Perlimbahan(1952, Haji Mahadi), produced by Shaw Brothers’ MFP and kept in the collection of Shaw Organisation. It is the first Singapore film directed by a Malay director. Made at the beginning of the studio era, the film features one of the ear...
The first Malay classic film that I encountered when I started work at AFA was Seniman Bujang Lapok(1961) by the Malay film icon P. Ramlee. A self-referential spoof of the Malay film industry of the late 1950s to early 1960s, the film never fails to make audiences young and old laugh. The film exists today in video format and on poor quality VCD an...
- A solar eclipse and a Sumatran prince inspired the Siglap name. You may have walked past this nondescript grave marked in yellow (which denotes royalty) at Jalan Sempadan, but do you know that in it lies a Sumatran prince who is believed to have founded Siglap?
- Spot the grave plots dedicated to supernatural beings in this cemetery. It’s hard to miss this cemetery along Siglap Road, with its distinctive bright yellow gates, overhanging trees and spacious grounds - a sharp contrast to the spanking new Flamingo Valley condominium next door and trendy cafes down the hill.
- Civilians were machine-gunned around Siglap Hill. One of Siglap’s darkest secrets was the wartime atrocities committed in that area, where Japanese soldiers killed and buried civilians during the Japanese Occupation.
- Pontianak hauntings here inspired a film. If you were living in a kampong here some 50 years ago, you might think twice about venturing out at night. Villagers then believed that they were being terrorised by the pontianak - a female vampire which, according to Malay myth, is the ghost of a woman who died during childbirth.
Sisters Indra and Erlina Suharjono are giving the iconic Cathay-Keris Films library a new lease of life, with contemporary remakes already under way as part of broader plans for their new shingle, I.E. Entertainment.
