What would you do if you were locked in a room with a zombie?
That was one of the questions Raffles Film Society set out to answer on 28 July 2023, during their annual film showcase.
Following the theme “Memento Mori, Memento Vita”, the showcase focused on remembering the inevitability of death whilst remembering life. The films and documentaries explored this wide spectrum of themes – from exploring Singapore’s hidden gems to literal death. This evening was a culmination of the Y6s’ hard work, for them to finally present their passion projects to an audience.
