Since 1995, Eric Khoo has been putting the Singaporean film industry back onto the international stage. He is the first Singaporean filmmaker whose movies have been screened at major international festivals such as Berlin, Venice and Cannes. Yet, in 2016, his movie Wanton Mee was a tribute to Singapore’s popular cuisine, recounting the path chosen by sellers of this traditional dish. This feature movie was screened as part of the Culinary section of the Berlinale that same year.
