Event details<ul><li>Session 1 (14 Jan 3-530pm): Documentary screening + panel talk</li><li>Session 2 (1﻿4 Jan 630-8pm): Documentary screening only [new screening added!]</li></ul>Documentary screeningClass Acts is a feature-length documentary tracing the genesis of Singapore&#x27;s creative scene in the &#x27;90s through intimate conversations with its pioneering personalities.From Singapore&#x27;s &#x27;godfather of design&#x27; and the frontman of Singapore&#x27;s first hardcore band Stompin&#x27; Ground to the founder of one of Singapore&#x27;s earliest graffiti crews ZNC and the streetwear visionary behind 77th Street, these are the stories of icons and legends navigating unchartered paths, government regulations, and limited finances to make their mark on culture.Controversial headlines, arrests, and measures to &quot;clean up&quot; backfired and further stoked the passion of individuals who took things into their own hands, opening the floodgates for a wave of independent design studios, self-published zines, and safe sanctuaries in the form of cultural landmarks The Substation and Zouk.These are the stories of individuals who started creating with nothing, who push Singapore’s creative standards even today. The ones who went on to inspire a new generation of musicians, designers, and street artists.Class Acts isn’t just a historical retelling of a time long past. It’s a documentation of their collective spirit that never wavered despite trying circumstances. Their voices were loud, and now it’s time for their stories to be heard.Rated PG13P﻿ost-screening panel talk (session 1 only)Join in on a panel discussion hosted by Kevin of The Cosmic Children Podcast, featuring four of our documentary cast as they share their perspectives on the DIY culture, Past Present &amp; Future, and creative cross-pollination across different subcultures.
