  • Preserving Singapore’s Film Heritage

    When I was young I remember one night when a movie started, on TV, everyone in my family got very excited. It turns out that the movie was filed in my grandmother’s house. The movie was in Hokkien. My cousins and I remember that night, but none of us know the name of the movie. I deduce though that Hokkien and Teochew language movies were made in Singapore in the 1950s and 60s. Are these all lost forever?
