Moving House

This documentary captures a significant moment of remembrance through the exhumation of the filmmaker's great-grandparents' grave in 1995. The film delves into personal stories connected to the family's past, highlighting the arrival of the great-grandfather from Xiamen, China, and his establishment of a crockery shop that is no longer in existence.

The film's narrative is rooted in the cultural context of Singapore, reflecting on the impact of urban development and compulsory exhumation orders on personal and collective memory. Completed in 1996, it serves as a precursor to a later version of Moving House released in 2001, illustrating the evolution of the filmmaker's exploration of family history.
