Dreaming in Black and White is a portrait of Singapore artist Tang Ling Nah. The film takes us on a journey into Ling Nah’s inner world—her memories, dreams and angels, and her fascination with black-and-white media, drawing charcoal and the city’s transitional spaces. The film explores her practice over the last 15 years and hints at the possible new directions in her art career. It highlights Ling Nah’s courage to pursue her dream to be an artist, the choices and sacrifices she has made, as well as the challenges of being a woman artist in Singapore and her regrets in this journey. The film’s dream-like form mixes documentary, fiction and animation. It blurs the boundaries between us, Ling Nah’s art and her deepest being. Ultimately, it celebrates our dreams—and reassures us that dreams do come true if persevered.

The Dominoes Movie is an audio-visual album of the sixties. Not the chronological 1960s, but the electric, turbulent decade of rock, revolution, and the Vietnam War.

A portrait of the Vietnam War decade without narration and presented entirely via news footage and a soundtrack featuring BB King, Marvin Gaye, The Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Santana, Neil Young, CSN&Y, Van Morrison, The Incredible String Band, Canned Heat and David Peel.

In doing so, he managed to gain astonishing insights into a scene that the “common user” would otherwise never get to see.
