Showcase

Programme Synopsis BOOM (建设繁荣) is a Singaporean-made independent film that sheds light on the nation’s struggle for space and the impact it has on its citizens. The film follows the story of an elderly mother battling to preserve her home and community as residents are coerced into a collective housing block sale and the ensuing conflict with her son who desires a fresh start. This updated adaptation of Singaporean playwright, Jean Tay's 2007 stage play is a poignant tribute to the disappearing heritage sites of Singapore, beautifully captured in the film's charming and bittersweet visuals. The film is a moving tribute to the country's rich history and a must-see for international audiences seeking a glimpse into the human costs of policy and progress. BOOM (建设繁荣) premiered at the 33rd Singapore International Film Festival 2022 and is Singaporean director, Derrick Chew’s feature film debut.
