idea of a diaspora shapes a writer through the tensions
of belonging, the myth of a motherland and the need
to establish a distinct voice in one’s writing.

States Embassy, Singapore.

Human Comedy weaves four loosely adapted,
updated Confucian moral fables into a sensitive, often
comical portrait of contemporary Taipei. A salesgirl
living in her own fantasy world; an actor forced to
choose between performing a nude scene and facing
his conservative mother; a bickering couple on a
comical quest for a new flat; and a man facing a raging
typhoon to rescue his ex-wife. In these struggles
between self-interest and self-sacrifice, director and
writer Hung Hung uncovers the quiet miracles of
everyday life.
SWF featured author Hung Hung will be present for a
post-film dialogue.
Curated by The Arts House.

PANEL: Masak-masak – Getting Serious about
Malay Recipes
featuring: rita Zahara, Siti mastura alwi
mOderated By: rohaizad Suaidi
Sat 3 nov | 5.30pm – 6.30pm | FESTIvAL PASS
glass Hall, Sam
In a culinary tradition that relies on agak-agak
(estimation) and word-of-mouth instruction,
cookbooks play a crucial role in preserving the best
of Malay recipes. Transposing an oral and amorphous
culinary form into written recipes with precise
measurements and methods is no masak-masak play,
as this panel discusses.
This session is in Malay.
PERBINCANGAN PANEL: Masak-masak – Bukan
Bermain-main mengenai Resipi Melayu
mengemukakan: rita Zahara, Siti mastura alwi
dimOderatkan OleH: rohaizad Suaidi
Sabtu 3 nov | 5.30ptg – 6.30ptg | PAS PESTA
glass Hall, Sam
Dalam tradisi memasak yang banyak bergantung
kepada cara ‘agak-agak’ dan pengajaran secara lisan,
buku masakan memainkan peranan penting dalam
mengekalkan resipi-resipi Melayu yang terbaik.
Perubahan daripada tradisi menyampaikan resipi
memasak dalam bentuk lisan kepada resipi yang
dibukukan dengan ukuran dan cara yang tepat,
dan bukan pula sekadar suatu ‘masak-masak’ akan
dibincangkan panel ini.
Sesi ini dalam Bahasa Melayu.

Never shying away from thought-provoking content,

protagonists’ inner conflicts—whether writer’s block
or a mid-life crisis—into a larger, critical examination of
social class, politics and art in Singapore.
