The Goddess of Potong Pasir
Jury Award, Festival Zeichen der Nacht (Berlin) 2023
Jury Statement:
"This autobiographical documentary film, commissioned by the Borobudur Writers and Cultural Festival, connects the personal devotion of a mother to her daughter with a traditional choreography of religious devotion to the popular Goddess Durga, during the Singapore Navaratri Festival, in a particularly moving and surprising way. Rarely does a film show the mutual relationship of human love emotion and contemporary religious dance interpretation in such an expressive and convincing manner."
