At last year’s Venice Film Festival, Stranger Eyes became the first-ever Singaporean film to land in the main competition, vying for the Golden Lion. Launching as a crackerjack thriller and morphing into a tender, existential set of musings on the mutually sparking tussle between surveillance and identity, Yeo Siew Hua’s third feature keeps us guessing, as it takes wild turns. <br /><br />Ahead of the film’s North American release later this month, Yeo Siew Hua sat down with Outlook’s Debanjan Dhar for an exclusive conversation. <br /><br />00:00 – 00:06 | Following and Watching <br />00:35 – 01:18 | Mediations and Perspectives <br />01:29 – 02:24 | A World of Perspectives <br />02:45 – 03:26 | Osmosis and the Mirror <br />03:49 – 05:13 | Watching as Transformation <br />05:27 – 07:19 | The Challenge of Two Apartments <br />07:26 – 10:35 | Producers as Companions <br />10:46 – 13:29 | The Silent Actor <br />13:35 – 15:14 | Cultures of Acting <br />15:34 – 17:53 | Editing Beyond Language <br />18:06 – 21:20 | Surveillance and Reception <br />21:29 – 22:26 | Voices of Singapore Cinema <br />22:40 – 22:56 | What Comes Next <br /><br />Follow us: <br />Website: https://www.outlookindia.com/ <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Outlookindia <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outlookindia/ <br />X: https://twitter.com/Outlookindia <br />Whatsapp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaNrF3v0AgWLA6OnJH0R <br />Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@OutlookMagazine <br />Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/outlookindia <br /><br />#Cinema #VeniceFilmFestival <br />
