Lim Yen is a Singapore-based storyteller with over 10 years of experience editing short/long-form narrative, docus, mvs, reality, brand films and commercials. She has built a practice rooted in non-conformity, intuition, experimentation, and a sensitivity to spatial rhythm and form.
Her latest edits include working on three shorts out of six in the anthology feature “Kopitiam Days” for Singapore’s 60th, a WIP feature documentary edit "E La Nave Va (And The Ship Sails On)" chronicling artist Milenko Prvacki’s life, and her first feature narrative edit “Orang Ikan” which gala premiered at Tokyo Intl. Film Festival, and has had premieres in Singapore, Germany, Italy, New Orleans, and is now streaming on Netflix and Shudder.
Her recent short “exits / entrances”, a concept of “how not to make a film” conjured in Yucatan, Mexico during Apichatpong Creators Lab’23, has screened and competed in London, Paris, Singapore, Canada, Mexico and LA. An experimental docu shaped by cultural unfamiliarity and linguistic barriers. She is also an alumni of Cinemovement Lab VII Tokyo 2024, where her WIP co-directed movement film “imawama 今は間” was screened at Tokyo Image Forum and Objectifs Singapore.
When she is not film marathoning, you can find her boxing all her problems away in the gym, or running away from them in nature.
