The 91 surviving titles represent a portion of Singapore’s golden age of filmmaking (1950s and 1960s). The titles depict stories indigenous to the Malay peoples of Singapore and Malaysia, display disappearing traditions and music, and reflect social attitudes of the time. The collection is historically, culturally and artistically important to the region’s Malay communities, but also embodies the heritage of Singapore.
