For many years, I have attended the Singapore International Film Festival as a movie-goer. This year, for the first time, I will be attending the festival as a filmmaker.
My documentary about the Beijing Olympics, Boomtown Beijing, will be screening at in the Singapore Panorama section on Wed April 9th at 9:15pm and Sat April 12th at 2pm. Tickets can be purchased here.
Boomtown Beijing is only one of more than a dozen films in the Singapore Panorama showcase this year, which includes a broad range of works made by Singapore filmmakers..
Please support SIFF, one of the oldest film festivals in Asia and arguably, also one of the most rigorously curated.
I am attending the Berlin Film Festival 2008 as script consultant for the Singapore documentary, Invisible City.
The Berlinale deserves its reputation as one of the top festivals in the world. Every section at the festival is a film universe unto its own and has developed a distinct identity and developed a loyal audience base over the years.
The choices can be overwhelming, from the wonderful films you can catch to the parties and events. Our senses are continuously bombarded by people, events and happenings.
On top of all this, there is the Berlinale Talent Campus, a week-long film academy that runs parallel to the main festival. Award-winning directors and top-notch industry professionals are giving seminars and workshops on a broad cross-section
of topics, for instance
Between Realities — Development Documentary Film Treatments
Golden Key to the Archives: The Legal Path to Found Footage
Indie Film makers´ Guide to Using the Internet
Matters of Life and Death– Reviews that Make or Break
Real Life Emotions:Biopics & Doc Stars
And the list goes on. I look forward to busy week of watching films and listening to others talk about films.
