Singapore in Shanghai

The 11th Shanghai International Film Festival runs from 14th to 22nd June, and this year, it has been elevated to the A-listers of film festivals accredited by the FIAPF (Fedération International des Associations de Producteurs de Films / or in English: International Federation of Film Producers Associations), joining the likes of Cannes, Berlin, Venice, and the only one in Asia besides Tokyo.

Friends from the Middle Kingdom will get a chance to watch no less than 6 Singaporean movies in the festival that's running now in a special showcase. What are the films? In no particular order, click on the pics to read my take on them!

Wish I was there to practice my extremely non-existent mother tongue of my dialect group! Oh, Gone Shopping and 18 Grams of Love are competing for the Asia New Talent Award. All the best!
