Tan Pin Pin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tan Pin Pin is a Singapore-based film director. Her credits include Singapore GaGa, which had a sold out seven week theatrical run in Singapore. The film, a survey of Singaporean life as expressed in sounds, has played in film festivals around the world. [1] [2]
Her short film Moving House won Best Documentary at the Student Academy Awards in 2002.[3] Other awards include two Asian Television Awards, Best Documentary at the US ASEAN Film and Photography Festival in 2006, and ELLE magazine's Filmmaker of the Year.[citation needed]
Her 2003 documentary 80kmh is a single continuous take of the 38-minute long drive across the island of Singapore on the Pan Island Expressway, and the view along the way. She intends to film a repeat trip every year, so that she can show all ten films side by side in 2013.[4]
Pin Pin is currently serving as a visiting fellow at a Singapore think tank, the Institute of Policy Studies, while shooting a new documentary about the documentary instinct in Singapore called Invisible City, to be released in 2007. [5]
