The director’s most recent films include Pineapple Town in the omnibus 7 Letters (2015) and To Singapore, with Love (2013), her award-winning documentary about Singaporean exiles that earned a “Not Allowed for All Ratings” classification in Singapore.

'in time to come' is a documentary feature about the timeless aspects of Singapore life. It is centered on the opening and sealing of two time capsules. A bold cinematic essay marked by striking imagery, it is Tan’s most formally daring and genre-bending film yet.

Reviewer James Lattimer in Slant Magazine (slantmagazine.com) called 'in time to come' “eerily beautiful,” and wrote, “For those willing to pick out the key moments from the flow of hushed, well-framed, frequently mysterious images of today’s Singapore, a wealth of interesting ideas soon bubble to the surface.”

A hit on the international film festival circuit, the film has appeared at A-list documentary festivals: It premiered in April at Visions du Réel festival in Nyon, Switzerland, played at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in Toronto and Sheffield Doc/Fest in the U.K., amongst other respected venues. Outside of Singapore, the Korean broadcast rights for IN TIME TO COME have been sold to its national broadcaster, EBS.

“Though it has been wonderful touring with the film at film festivals, for a Singapore director who made this film in Singapore with Singapore support, I am most excited to bring it home to the Singapore audience. It has been a film I wanted to make for a long time, and I can’t wait to share it.” said Tan Pin Pin.

Acclaimed Singaporean filmmaker Tan Pin Pin will see her film, 'in time to come', open at the Filmgarde Cineplex at Bugis+ on 28 Sep, 2017.
