Yeo Siew Hua (born 1 April 1985) is a Singaporean director, screenwriter and visual artist.[1]

Life and career

Graduating among the top of his cohort in Ngee Ann Polytechnic's School of Media Studies, Yeo went on to study philosophy at the National University of Singapore.[2] Yeo is a founding member of the 13 Little Pictures film collective and is part of the autonomous art group soft/Wall/studs, where he curates documentary films in conversation with contemporary art practice. His experimental feature debut In the House of Straw (2009) was named by critics as being a significant entry in the Singapore New Wave. With his second feature film A Land Imagined, Yeo became the first Singaporean to win the Golden Leopard Award at Locarno in 2018. The following year, the film went on to win Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Film Score at the Golden Horse Awards, and was also chosen as Singapore's entry for Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards.[3]

Yeo has also taught at local institutions including the School of the Arts (SOTA), LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore Polytechnic and Ngee Ann Polytechnic.[4]

In 2021, he received the Young Artist Award, Singapore's most prominent award for young arts practitioners.[5]
