Most of Singapore’s current crop of globally-known filmmakers cut their teeth on short films. And the format continues to be a popular one in the city-state. The Singapore International Film Festival’s Singapore Panorama shorts strand showcased some of the best and most diverse new local work at the National Museum of Singapore on Nov. 29 and 30.
“A Dance For Ren Hang” was made by Lei Yuan Bin in conjunction with Brussels-based Singaporean dancer Sara Tan. The short sees dancers re-enact images by the late Chinese erotic photographer Ren Hang, who died in 2017 at the age of 30. Lei is one of the founders of Singaporean filmmakers’ collective 13 Little Pictures, and has also directed two features and a documentary.

Is it art or is it pornography? This is the question most North American people might ask themselves when they see the work of late Chinese photographer Ren Hang. But it seems in China the question isn’t really that important since Ren Hang’s work whether porn or art is considered immoral and often illegal. Zhang Ximing’s film “I’ve Got a Little Problem” is a point in time look at the life of Ren Hang, an erotic photographer. Hang passed away in February 2017, he was 29 years old.
“I’ve Got a Little Problem” was featured at the 2018 Mulan International Film Festival.
Zhang Ximing’s documentary about late photographer Ren Hang is a one man project. I spoke with Zhang Ximing through a translator at the Mulan Film Festival in Toronto Ontario, Canada. This documentary is his first feature film and he encountered a major issue when working on this project.
