Moving House

Documentary about the exhumation of my great-grandparents's grave at Lorong Panchar, off Sixth Avenue in Singapore in 1995 because of a compulsory exhumation order. This video, completed in 1996, provided the basis for a later version of Moving House, 2001. My great-grandfather arrived from Xiamen, China in the late 1800s and opened a crockery shop at Clive Terrace, no longer extant, off Beach Road. My grandfather grew up at Sheik Madrasah Lane off Ophir Road.
