    Royston Tan's gay short film Anniversary gets R21 rating

    Gay relationships, sex, orgy and drugs. These are the themes, Anniversary, a new short film by acclaimed Singaporean director Royston Tan and playwright-writer Alfian Sa'at explores. Although potentially controversial, Alfian tells Fridae in an exclusive interview why he thinks a warts-and-all depiction of gay people is needed.

    Anniversary, a short film directed by Royston Tan and written by Alfian Sa’at, has been rated R21 without cuts by the censors and will have its premiere at the Love fundraising dinner organised by Action for AIDS (AFA) on Dec 4. 2009. 

    The film stars Kelvin Ong as Wai Kit (top pic, left), Shane Mardjuki as Justin (top pic, right), Jae Leung (top of the page, right) and Cheriyan Lydia Natalia.

    The 20-min film delves into the lives of Wai Kit, a 23-year-old undergrad who lives with his 27-year-old insurance agent boyfriend, Justin, as they approach their first anniversary with differing expectations and values shaped by their earlier relationship experiences. While Justin is described as being “remarkably idealistic, believing in the virtues of monogamy,” Wai Kit has been “in and out of relationships”. To complicate matters, Justin’s participation at a ‘party-and-play’ session just months before meeting Justin comes back to haunt him.

    Commissioned by AFA, the film touches on the issue of ‘chemsex’ where 'sex-enhancing' drugs are used by a certain segment of the gay community. 

    Alfian, an acclaimed poet and playwright who is best known for his Asian Boys Trilogy, says the film hopes to “address a certain problem within the gay community.”

    “You can go to a local IRC channel, and you'll see how many nicknames have the words 'chem' or 'wild' appended to them. So we thought it's time to bring this into the open, and have a real discussion about it. Because the more you pretend it doesn't exist, the more you grant it an underground status, and then people go into denial mode. 

    “And the minute you go into denial, then you start to forget how these things you do in the shadows, in secret, can have such profound consequences on the life that you lead in broad daylight,” he added.

    A public screening of the film is being planned for mid-December. To book a seat or receive updates, sign up at anniversary.sg.

  • Confidence

    Friday, Nov 13, 2009 9:33PM / Members only

    I learnt something very important today.

    I was asked by my music teacher Feihui Laoshi to a meeting with Avex Asia's staff, together with 3 other fellow schoolmates. He wants to help promoting the few of us to the people from Avex.

    Usually this kind of meeting, if arranged by myself and attended just by myself, I wouldn't have any problem. I would be showing my stuff, talking fluently, not be nervous, no hiccups. No such thing as 'low confidence level.'

    Today, maybe its the presence of laoshi, maybe its because of my fellow schoolmates, or maybe its simply because they are THE PEOPLE FROM AVEX. I failed to perform. The pressure of having your trainer right in front of you, afraid to make mistakes. The thought of not wanting to over-promote myself to avoid putting down my peers. The structure of the entire meeting being so formal and stern. I didn't feel relaxed at all unlike my other meetings. The fact that my teacher and Avex person kept talking about irrelavant stuffs and cracking distracting jokes.

    I lost my confidence in talking.

    In fact, all 4 of us did lost our confidence in talking.

    My senior Shawna is a very good speaker by nature. Its unfortunate she was seated at the last end and ended up being the last to speak everytime. I think its just human nature, to answer the exact same manner as the person (or few persons) before you when being asked a general question. There's many way to answer a question like 'tell me more about yourself'. I was seated at number 3. The first 2 person answered this particular question with 'my name, my age and my school/work.' That really marked a difference for all 4 of us.

    Personally, when its about my turn to answer that question, i was thinking 'should i just follow the format of the previous person on how to answer this question? or should i fill the question up with more information, like what i like, what i do, what are my achievements etc?' 'will it make me look like i'm hardselling myself?' 'will i be putting down my fellow peers? we are here as a team, i'm sure teacher wouldn't like it if i'm the only one who said different things'

    I was scared and i ended up answering the same manner. Feihui laoshi, eventually after the meeting, told us we blew our chances. Mainly because of this. There is only one shot. Ask for another chance? No. That will never come again. Just pray if they were impressed with your performance today and if they asked to meet you up again, that's your second chance.

    Oppotunities are given only once, Acknowledgements had to be earned in that one and only.

    I'm not low in confident level. I'm just kinda lost. I may have blew this oppotunity this time. But its definitely a good lesson learnt.

    Laoshi, thank you for all your effort spent on us. Sorry for letting you down after creating such a good oppotunity and none of us grabbed it.

  • Tokyo in Beijing in HongKong

    Monday, Nov 9, 2009 1:23AM / Members only

    Been to Backstage Live Restaurant Finally.

    This place reminds me heavily of the 木船餐厅 in Singapore. Singing, chilling, eating, drinking. The difference is, audience actually get to go on stage to sing a song or two they like.

    Met up with couple of friends. Michael, thanks for spending time with us! its always great company with you.

    Reni Wong, also very nice and 'tiny'. Had some quality yum cha time with him and his manager Jason. Next time we should meet up again.

     

    When Taiga arrived, we went up to the new AnD office for a visit. As it was too late, all we found was...

    A slacker, or two slacker.

    And Andrew's kitty Mantou.

    Got myself a nice souvenir though. The Blue AnD Cap. YES!

    Had beijing duck at 鹿鸣春 with Jane and Lu-chan.

    Seafood at Sai Kung with Bill Yip and my friends from Singapore, Alvin and Francis.

    And the Main event, at Lan Kwai Fong

    Its Beijing Club's Tokyo night for City of Nights!

    We came all the way from Singapore, Malaysia and Japan to see 24Herbs.

    Mc Simon

    We had the front row!

    Supper at Tsui Wah. I don't see Mc Jin working today.
