Shanghai to hold first Singaporean film show

Xinhua, November 4, 2015 Adjust font size:

Shanghai will hold an exhibition on Singaporean film from Nov. 11 to 15 for the first time in the city's history, the Shanghai Film Distribution & Exhibition Association said on Wednesday.

Five films will be displayed to introduce the culture and daily life of Singaporeans, according to the organizer.

Comedy film "Ah Boys to Men" tells the story of a group of army recruits in the National Service in Singapore. Family film "Ilo Ilo" won the Camera d'Or in 2013, the first Singaporean feature film to win an award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Singapore Consul General in Shanghai Ong Siew Gay said this year marked the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the film exhibition can hopefully offer Chinese audiences a close-up view of Singapore. Endi
