  • MEDIA RELEASE Singapore International Film Festival
    MEDIA RELEASE Singapore International Film Festival Celebrates Asia’s Story in Film The line-up includes two iconic Asian classics celebrating their 20th anniversary Singapore, 1 September 2015 – Southeast Asia’s longest-running international film platform Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) will take place from 26 November to 6 December 2015 to celebrate independent cinema in the region, telling the Asia story in film. SGIFF Executive Director, Yuni Hadi, said, “The region is rich with an eclectic mix of filmmakers, and SGIFF presents a choice platform for their different voices and styles of expression. It is always exhilarating to discover amazing works, create opportunities for exchanges between emerging talents and industry heavyweights, and connect these independent spirits with the wider regional and international audience.” The 26th edition of SGIFF will take place across various venues, including Marina Bay Sands, National Museum of Singapore, Shaw Theatres Lido, National Gallery Singapore, The Arts House, The Projector and The Substation. Film line-up for this year’s edition will be curated from the over 1,400 submissions received since its open call in May 2015. Line-up to Celebrate Two Iconic Asian Classics Two iconic films of Singapore cinema will lead the line-up for the Classics segment of the SGIFF. Eric Khoo’s Mee Pok Man and Yonfan’s Bugis Street are two well-known works that had been prominent in the 1990s – when a resurgence of independent cinema was noted in Singapore. Both films mark their 20th anniversaries this year. Eric Khoo’s Mee Pok Man (L) and Yonfan’s Bugis Street Redux (R) Hadi added, “Mee Pok Man and Bugis Street are two classics that not just tell a Singapore story, but also reflect a milestone of an era for our filmmaking industry.

  • Old & New Hong Kong 舊與新 港
    OLD & NEW HONG KONG 舊與新 ⾹港 The map is my new project that shows the diversity of images of Hong Kong. I studied history, walked through my favorite streets again, and made an incredible number of sketches. I tried to choose the most significant places and highlights to present them to each of you, to share with you my emotions of delight and deep love for Hong Kong. ART MAP Architecture, history, streets with traditional Chinese characters and stately European buildings on this map consistently laid a fascinating route. Following it, you can also follow this interesting path step by step, watching the course of history with me. Yau Ma Tei Tin Hau Temple 油麻地天后廟 1 Hiding behind the crowns of banyan trees there is a beautiful temple bult in the second half of the 19th century. Standing in the very heart of a busy center, the temple seems to have frozen in time. It attracts attention and is likely to keep many interesting stories. It is the Tin Hau Temple built in honor of Tin Hau, the Queen of Seas and protector of mariners and fishermen. The temple is the oldest of five buildings known as Tin Hau Temple Complex. Originally, the temple was located closer to the water, which makes sense (as it was bult in honor of sea goddess). Believe it or not, it’s the fact. The temple is now an inseparable part of the Yung Shue Tau square. The Shanghai street won’t be the same without the subtle and sweet smell of incense, following which you’ll come to Tin Hau Temple.

Combining elements of comedy, romance and action, 12 Golden Ducks is a comeback story about the misadventures of a group of gigolos (referred to in local vernacular as “ducks”) trying to make their mark in Hong Kong. As with any profession, they have all suffered their share of setbacks. But their ability to find laughter within the tears reflects the drive, passion and the indomitable spirit of the Hong Kong people. 2 Synopsis Devastated by a love affair, former in-demand gigolo Future Cheung (played by Sandra Ng) retreats to Thailand, leading the life a dissolute. Thanks to the intervention of his high school teacher, Mr. Lo, Future summons the courage to return to Hong Kong. With the help of his friend Rocky, a gym trainer, he works hard to get back into shape, determined to make a comeback in the “duck” (male escort) trade.

LONG SYNOPSIS From internationally-acclaimed director Lu Chuan, an epic story of war, of dreams fulfilled and of betrayals - betrayals of friendship, of ideals, and of oneself. Yu is a young noble: handsome, brave, admired. Commander of the era’s most powerful army, he leads the revolt against the cruel Qin dynasty. Yu recognizes great potential in Liu, a peasant, and gives him command of 5,000 soldiers. Liu breaks an agreement with Yu by entering and ransacking the Qin capital alone. The Qin dynasty falls and Yu rules. Wary of treachery, his advisers plot to kill Liu at a great banquet, but the emperor spares his life. From the time of this ‘last supper’, Liu will wage war against Yu. Xin, Yu’s bodyguard, joins him. Defeated, Yu commits suicide on the battlefield rather than submit to capture. Yu is dead, but now Xin is a threat. Liu imprisons then releases him, but broods about having spared Xin’s life as Yu spared his..

    In Memory of the Star-Studded MP & GI In 1956, Loke Wan-tho of Singapore's Cathay Organisation established in Hong Kong Motion Picture & General Investment Co Ltd (MP & GI) which thrived in just a few years. Loke Wan-tho, the life and soul of star-studded MP & GI, is himself the brightest star. MP & GI was famed for its Mandarin comedies and musicals. In fact, its Cantonese unit was set up before the Mandarin unit, producing box office successes such as The Romance of Jade Hall (1957) and Bitter Lotus (1960), though it was those middlebrow and westernised features which became MP & GI's trade mark. MP & GI's Cantonese features thus provide useful yardsticks against which their origin and interrelationship with the Mandarin ones are measured. What connections and conflicts do these Cantonese films have with the rest of the Cantonese film world? The two units converged, at the release of The Greatest Civil War on Earth (1961), breaking the deadlock reached by the segregated Mandarin and Cantonese worlds. The world of homeland sentiments and classy Shanghai school so frequently portrayed in Mandarin contemporaries is slowly fading away, pulling itself closer to the Hong Kong society. The focus on Cathay/MP & GI in this issue allows us to share with the writers opinions, first-hand experience, and research that they have of the company, apart from supplying us with the tracks left behind by those involved in the preparation of the film retrospective to be launched between March and June. Despite the vanishing of the MP & GI myth, we still remember fondly the orbit once frequented by the galaxy of stars and how precious it was to have these stars, both on and off the screen, gathered together for a united goal.
