Awards

"Unanimous in selection, we are proud to present this award to a Singaporean film that combined clear and original vision, strong storytelling, and technical achievement in addressing an increasingly important issue not only to Singapore but to the world."

For its confident direction and fresh take on the neo-noir genre, for underlining that the personal is social, for its ambitious but intricate interweaving of dreams and reality and for its disquieting but philosophical portrayal of unfair migrant labor practices resulting from its country's reclamation goals.
