The Projector celebrates SG60 with a showcase featuring the works of five local film-makers and the movies that have had an impact on them.

Among them is K. Rajagopal’s A Yellow Bird, which follows a former convict searching for his ex-wife and estranged daughter. The film made its Cannes debut at the 2016 International Critics’ Week, a parallel section of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

The film Rajagopal curated is British film-maker Mike Leigh’s 1993 award-winning black comedy Naked.

Singapore International Film Festival Audience Choice award-winning director Quen Wong will present her 2021 documentary Some Women, followed by a question-and-answer session after the screening.

Wong’s choice of film, He’s A Woman, She’s A Man (1994), will delight fans of the late Hong Kong legend Leslie Cheung. The classic romantic comedy by Hong Kong director Peter Chan also stars Anita Yuen and Carina Lau.

The Majulah Cinema! showcase runs from Aug 10 to Sept 6.
