Description
Summary:Two Islands is a short documentary that follows Kylie Woon, an ethnically Singaporean-Chinese 28-year-old, who has strong feelings of displacement after years of growing up overseas in Western states. She embarks on a photography project to Hainan to explore her ancestral home & extended family from the island, thereby discovering parts of her identity across national borders. This documentary presents Kylie’s attempts to connect with her relatives in Hainan, showing us what might happen when Singaporeans become more curious about their ethnic roots/heritage and whether this challenges, or even changes their perception of national identity.
