My recent works And the Whole World Is Dancing (Africa Media, 2022), MURK! (Exploring Singapore from Below) (Sustainable Singapore Gallery, 2024) and Madame Margaux (Wildscreen, 2024) have earned recognition at international festivals including being awarded Best Short Documentary of the Year (SEAIFF).

Only the natural world could inspire a performance like this. Rodel Hilado, a senior tourism officer by day, transforms into a dazzling drag queen, Madame Margaux, by night. Drawing inspiration from the Tboli leaf warbler they helped discover, Rodel uses Margaux's performances to promote the preservation of their indigenous land.

Unlike other destinations in Southeast Asia, diving conditions in Singapore are limited.

Under the murk, however, lies much beauty to be discovered. Inspired by Singapore’s rich biodiversity,

a group of underwater photographers come together to document the intricate marine life in these waters, advocating for more to love and protect the ocean.

'And the whole world is dancing' is a personal piece on my experience seeing and filming animals in the wild for the first time. It is a tribute to the beauty and magnificence of the world around us. Inspired by the idea of how the world is singing in 'Racing Extinction', it is a portrayal and documentation of how the whole world too, is dancing. The natural rhythm of the natural world.
