I Moved Back Home Against My Will
Eddy Tan | 12'02'' | Malaysia #filmpantoum
“I Moved Back Home Against My Will” is a visual diary attempting to document my feelings of grief, anger, and acceptance in parting with Johor Bahru, my home for 7 years. A place where I had unshakeable faith for flourishing, quickly snuffed out by circumstance. When lockdown forces everyone to stay, the ultimatum compels me to leave. The only movement allowed was from the old place to the new, with no chance to linger around and say my goodbyes. The series of written poems that the films are based on are the first after many years of silence and bliss.
