Sementara

This is a documentary on the sights and sounds in Singapore during its SG50 celebrations.

Liked the scenes with people from different religions and cultures! Learned more about people from all walks of life from the interviews!

Moving On

The story is about a family trying to move on in their lives in their own ways.

The pace was a little slow at the start but I appreciated the film more after all the characters were introduced. Liked the nice family atmosphere of them eating together and the grandson showing off his dance! The old song that the grandfather listened to was quite nice too!

The House Of Us

The story is about a little girl trying to bring her family together through cooking and planning a family trip. She made friends with two girls who are even younger than her by chance.

Liked the happier moments when the three girls played together! Thought some parts were not very logical such as the mother's reaction towards the milk incident, the little girl refusing to answer her calls and the fear towards a man sleeping in his cart but I still enjoyed the film.

From Victoria Street to Ang Mo Kio

This is a film about the history of the CHIJ St Nicholas school. It has a dramatized story, interviews with former students and principals as well as documentary footages. I liked the depiction of the old school compound with the creaky staircase and the naturally well ventilated classroom space! I also liked to hear the fond memories of the interviewees and to learn about the history of our education system through the documentary clips!
