Line-Up:
1) Afternoon River Evening Sky
Director: Edmund Yeo
2010, 19 min
A short film divided into two parallel
stories. In Afternoon River, Grace, a waitress in a Bah Kut Teh
restaurant tries to go through her mundane everyday work while
ignoring the incessant ringing of her cell phone. In Evening Sky, the
tomboyish Lai Fun seeks justice from an illegal DVD peddler who
impregnated her best friend.
2) The Invigilator
Director: Manesh Nesaratnam
2010, 12 min
A story about two high-school teachers
and their aspirations in the teaching profession. This film is at
once a light-hearted clash of pedagogical perspectives and at the
same time an echo of societies' frustrations with the inadequacies of
available education systems.

When a young adult receives a friend

Indonesian immigrants; Ferdy and Mira, in Flushing, Queens. As he
