Singapore has never really had a wuxia feature film – though the genre was a fixture of local television in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when a wave of wuxia serials cast actors like Li Nanxing and Zhu Ming.

Nelson Yeo is closing that gap with “The House on the Moon,” a lunar reimagining of the Chang’Er myth landing in Locarno’s international competition. Variety is exclusively unveiling a clip from the film, ahead of its world premiere.
