Short Film Screening: Requiem for Home (PG)
A short film by NUS Architecture students Xiong Jiaxi and Er Wen Xuan, Requiem for Home (PG), will be screened before the main feature, Nope (NC16).
How does perspective on life change when one embraces and celebrates death? With the choice of ending one’s life, what kind of world will he or she desire? If life were to end in a last home, what constitutes it?
In 2025, the airborne PRION-25 disease quickly infects every man on earth, ravaging the existence of our species entirely. Infected persons remain asymptomatic for 9 years and ultimately perish from lethal neurodegeneration in the 10th. With no cure to be found, mankind is left with no choice but to live on a ticking time bomb. Through chaos and panic, a new religion – Prionism – emerges as a community’s protest against living in fear and isolation. Our story follows Prionists dwelling in a HDB compound as they embark on an elaborate celebratory ritual called the “Rite of Departure” – an assisted quietus that poses as a farewell and a remembrance of lives lived.
