SEAWARD 

Production Team: Saksham Mehrotra, Felix Galistan, Lauren Elizabeth Lim, Rajun Flo

8 minutes | 2025

Seaward journeys along Singapore’s shifting coastline, beginning in the still hours of night when the tide recedes to reveal a hidden world. Under torchlight, crabs scuttle across rippled sand, sea stars cling to rocks, and seaweed glisten in shallow pools life moving quietly in the dark. As the tide returns, the film turns inland, where another nocturnal rhythm unfolds: cranes and floodlights carving new boundaries against the sea. With daybreak, the mangroves emerge revealing a muddy landscape teeming with life. Through patient observation and immersive sound, Seaward discovers the parallels of our natural and constructed worlds, a meditation on an island perpetually in flux.

NURTURING COEXISTENCE 

Production Team: Hanim Yahman, Wayne Chng, Mark Sng, Julian Paul Lee, Tang Yong Jen, Nivedita Banerjee 

5 minutes | 2025

In a city where encounters between humans and wildlife grow ever closer, a teacher finds new purpose through her daughter’s connection to nature. What begins as an experiment in outdoor learning unfolds into a journey across Singapore’s green spaces — meeting educators, conservationists, and wildlife responders who dedicate their lives to bridging the gap between people and the wild. Through their stories, Nurturing Coexistence reveals how coexistence begins not with control, but by seeing nature with new eyes and listening to how the wild can help us rediscover our own humanity.
