IN Time To Come is one of Tan Pin Pin's most experimental and genre-bending works.

In the slow-burning documentary, scenes of everyday life in Singapore - like a school assembly and the fumigating of a housing estate - are captured in continuous takes with no narrative and little connection between the footage.

Shot over four years from 2012 to 2016, it is Tan's attempt to "look at Singapore through the prism of its everyday rituals".
