Zo Gang has been selected for 3rd Toronto Singapore Film Festival, 4-6 April 08. After touring Singapore, Germany, Switzerland, Taiwan, London and Hungary, Canada here we come!
From TSFF website:
“The Toronto Singapore Film Festival (TSFF) began in February 2006 with the passion of Singaporeans and Torontorians for Singaporean films. A grassroots and non-profit initiative, TSFF is one of the few film festivals devoted to Singaporean films outside Singapore, and has been playing to full houses since its inception…“
The Substation Theatre was again filled to capacity for the Best of First Take last night, marking the end of the weekend celebrations of Moving Images’ 10th Anniversary. Audiences were able to vote for their favourite film after the screening, and Fai won most votes with his film ‘Bob’.
Zo Gang and Zo Hee received good response, and we look forward to screening it again. An actor from another film said he was crying laughing while watching it.
We also got the audience to say ‘Hosay!’ for the Hosaywood ‘commercial’. Watch out for it soon!
The guys over at A Nutshell Review and Moviexclusive have great reviews/writeups of the Zo Hee screening and MI party, read them here: A Nut Shell Review Moviexclusive
The crowd chiong-ing for the makan after the show on 7 Dec 07
Thanks to everyone who came to the Zo Hee World Premiere at Substation Moving Images’ 10th Anniversary party.
It’s been quite a ride making Zo Hee, and I’m glad everyone enjoyed it! Many of the actors and special cameos from the film were also present, and watching a film at The Substation made in The Substation made it very special indeed.
(More pics to come)
The celebrations continue until Monday, ending with the Best of First Take on Monday night. Zo Gang is one of the films that night, and viewers get to vote for their best of the Best of First Take! And the best winner of the best of the Best of First Take wins a prize.
Film-maker wannabe, Ah-Tan is sick of his day job. Join Ah-Tan on his way to work one day, as he discusses and pokes fun at local film and music, while plotting his path to become Singapore’s next great director.
