Disaster Free is an AI film that speculates upon the shifting hydrological systems driven by global warming. Set in the near future, the film narrates a third-person account of the events leading to the flood of Singapore. It challenges the common perception of Singapore as a disaster-free zone, confronting the notion that we are distinct and somehow protected from the waters that surround us.
The film follows Yuexi, a young Singaporean who grew up thinking that Singapore is disaster-free. As rising sea levels and storms ravage the island, she witnesses Singapore transform into a half-submerged city; once-familiar places now become vague memories, clashing with this new reality, where retrofitted homes float, and skyscrapers act as shelters. Reflecting on the past, Yuexi realizes that the distinct lines between land and water are more blurry than we think.
