Tickets
Sherman Ong, 2010, SG, 10'
In Tickets, Xiao Jing, a cinema ticket seller, reflects on her arrival in Singapore and aspirations to become an actress. Blurring documentary and fiction, the film highlights immigrants’ difficulties integrating into local society, and their search for personal identity. Sherman Ong filmed Tickets at the former Oriental Theatre, a cinema built in the 1920s by film distribution company Shaw Organisation.
