Disaster Free
Contains AI-assisted elements
Disaster Free is an AI-generated speculative film set in a near-future Singapore reshaped by intensified flooding and sea level rise. The work follows Yuexi, a young Singaporean navigating a city where familiar landscapes have submerged and urban infrastructure has adapted into floating shelters — a world neither dystopian nor utopian, but pragmatically inhabited. The film interrogates the myth of Singapore as a nation insulated from natural disaster, tracing how the boundary between land and water dissolves not through catastrophe alone, but through gradual adaptation and acceptance. Rather than framing climate change as crisis or collapse, Disaster Free proposes a more unsettling possibility: that we learn to live within it, and that this future may already belong to our children. Artificial intelligence functions here as more than a production tool — it is a collaborator in imagining what exceeds our current frames of reference. Faced with an event as vast and diffuse as climate change, AI offers a means to externalize, visualize, and emotionally inhabit futures that resist singular representation. The result is a film that is at once Yuexi's story and ours — a legacy we are already in the process of making.
