​Written by Raphaël Millet and published by the Asian Film Archive, Singapore: A Cinematic Portrait  traces the island’s journey on screen, from its days as a bustling imperial entrepôt to its emergence as a confident, modern, cosmopolitan city-state. Richly illustrated with historical film materials-film posters, handbills and photographs, this volume is both a reference work  and a visual archive. It offers a layered perspective on Singapore cinema and Singapore’s place within global film history, while foregrounding the role of images in shaping how the city has been seen, remembered, and understood.
