Eva Tang

Filmmaker

Eva Tang's artistic career is rooted in a deep love for literature and film. This foundation was established early when, as an undergraduate at the University of Hong Kong, she received the First Prize for Hong Kong’s most esteemed Chinese Literature Award for her prose. She later earned an MA in Fiction Directing at the prestigious National Film and Television School (UK).

Her student film "While You Sleep" (2002) was the first short film by a Singaporean filmmaker to be officially selected for the Venice Film Festival. This was followed by invitations to the 2009 Berlinale Talents, the 2010 Taipei Golden Horse Film Academy, and the Torino FilmLab.

Eva's debut feature documentary, "The Songs We Sang" (2015), was a critical and commercial triumph. Hailed by local media and audience as one of the best films of the year, it set a new box office record for local independent documentaries. It was also honoured as one of the Best 10 Films in 2016 by Chinese film critic "桃桃淘电影".
