Bugis Street was famous (or notorious) for being a haunt of transgender prostitution in the early decades of postcolonial Singapore. Since then the site has been a source of touristic obsession and local cultural anxiety. In his 1995 film Bugis Street, director Yonfan brings the short lane back to vivid cinematic life. By focusing on the film's representations of queer sexualities and transgender experience, this book contends that the under-appreciated Bugis Street is a significant instance of queer transnational cinema. The film's playful yet nuanced articulations of queer embodiment, spatiality, and temporality provide an unexpected intervention in the public discourses on LGBT politics, activism, and cultures in Singapore today. This book's arrival at a much more complicated and contradictory picture of the discursive Bugis Street, through the examination of Yonfan's film and a range of other cultural and literary texts, adds a new critical dimension to the ongoing historical, geographical, sociological, ethnographic, and artistic analyses of this controversial space.

The authors catalogue the country's film landscape from the early days of local film production through the end of 2007, and present new discoveries on the city's film history that throw fresh light on its earliest feature productions. The book's discussion of Singapore film production between 2000 and 2007 covers more than 50 new feature films, and also looks at Singapore cinema in its regional and wider contexts. The book also provides discussions of short film production and its impact on the development of filmmaking in the country, on censorship and film classification, and interviews with industry professionals and filmmakers. Expanded appendices provide quick reference to bio-filmographies of important Singapore filmmakers, statistics from the Singapore International Film Festival, and a full list of films produced in Singapore between 1927 and 2007.
