The Art of Singapore

The documentary explores the life of Mr Ang Hao Sai, the last movie poster painter in Singapore. We trace his journey as an artist and a pioneer, delving into his latest work as a personal tribute to the history of Singapore that captures poignant moments over the last 50 years. His colourful brushwork and wistful perspective offers a new lens for viewing Singaporean arts and culture, digging deeper into the subtleties of generational gaps, heritage and craftsmanship. Beautiful in its execution with a reverence for the past, the film is a nostalgic ode to the complexities and growth of Singapore through the eyes of an generational artist.
