Abstract
Knights documents the ordinary. These are the things we often overlook; the things we take for granted. The film centres on T-Knights, a newly-formed, youth tchoukball team as they find their place in the local tchoukball arena and in society. In spite of misadventures, unwilling obligations and discouragement from those around them for the three featured characters and the team, they learn to move on, and find enjoyment in the little things.

Abstract
Ever since Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary famously became the first people to summit Mount Everest in 1953, the word Sherpa has become a byword for a porter, mountain guide or climber. But Sherpa is not just a job title, it is the name of an ethnic group of people who originate from Tibet, and now mostly live in the mountainous regions of Nepal. Not all Sherpas are climbers. With better education and more opportunities, they no longer have to risk their lives up in the world’s tallest peaks to support themselves and their families. My Name Is Sherpa & I Am Not a Climber is an interactive documentary that features eight stories of Sherpas who have moved away from their homes and are forging their own paths in Nepal’s capital city, Kathmandu.

Death is ___

Abstract
Death is ___ (deathis.sg) is an interactive documentary about people
whose lives revolve around death. These people range from undertakers to
terminally ill patients and through stories of how they deal with end-of-life
issues, we present to viewers various perspectives of death. Death is a natural part of life but in the Asian culture, many find it inauspicious and even rude to talk about it. According to a 2014 Lien Foundation survey, nearly three-quarters of survey respondents believe it is important to have conversations about death or dying, but only half of Singaporeans have talked about death or dying with their loved ones. There are many things people need to talk about when it comes to death. Other than practical decisions such as wills and funerals, there are also emotional matters to be settled before leaving this world for good; for example, things people want to achieve before dying. Therefore, through our project, we want to acknowledge and present these different aspects of death.
