Daniel Hui’s Snakeskin will be screening at the UPFI!

[Editor’s note: the following is a press release from Los Otros]

Los Otros co-presents with UP Film Center a free screening of Daniel Hui’s critically-acclaimed second film, SNAKESKIN (2014), followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.

“A striking vérité snapshot of present-day Singapore that doubles as a semi-mystical cinematic incantation conjuring ghosts from the country’s history, Daniel Hui’s SNAKESKIN ingeniously compresses past, present, and future. In 2066, the lone survivor of a cult projects footage shot by his divine leader, who claimed to be the reincarnation of Stamford Raffles, the British statesman who founded Singapore. Both living and dead subjects candidly reminisce about love, race, revolution, and the Malay film industry as muted images from 2014 of the city-state’s streets and harbors—key locations of the cult’s future founding—flash by.”—Film Society of Lincoln Center

SNAKESKIN (2014) won several awards including Special Jury Prize from the Torino Film Festival, Award of Excellence of the New Asian Currents program of the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival, and Special Mention for the Grand Prize for Best International Feature at Montreal International Documentary Festival.
