Invisible City by Tan Pin Pin



某一些历史在不断建构的同时,另外一些历史也在不断的消逝。这是一个有关如何对待岛国历史的纪录片。我不知道片中如何叙述历史,但相信其叙述方式将会让我们对于熟知的历史,开始采取一种不同的视角的看待。

Invisible City is directed by Tan Pin Pin, one of Singapore’s best known filmmakers. She directed the critically and commercially acclaimed Singapore GaGa as well as the multi award-winning Moving House. She now turns her camera to the subject of memory.

Invisible City chronicles the ways people attempt to leave a mark before they and their histories disappear. From an avid amateur film director trying to preserve his decaying trove of Singapore footage to an intrepid Japanese journalist hunting down Singaporean war veterans, Tan Pin Pin draws out doubts, hopes and the ordinary moments of these protagonists who attempt immortality. Through their footage and photos rarely seen until now, we begin to perceive faint silhouettes of a City that could have been.
