The House of Janus is a creative documentary by T:>Works Artistic Director Ong Keng Sen, has been selected for its world premiere at the 35th Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF). This film is part of SGIFF’s Undercurrent section, highlighting experimental and boundary-pushing works in cinema.
Set against the scenic hills of Bettona and inspired by Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, The House of Janus explores themes of life, love, and mortality through the story of Adriaan and his connection to Casa Giano, the “House of Janus,” which he designed and built. Ong Keng Sen describes the film as a “love story between a human and a house,” merging ephemeral human experiences with the timeless nature of space and structure.
