Eclectic, unexpected cinematic pleasures
The film programme for The OPEN, a pre-event of the Singapore International Festival of Arts, has some true gems. By HELMI YUSOF
THE OPEN, a pre-event of the Singapore International Festival of Arts, starts this month and boasts an eclectic film programme of 19 films that range from the excellent to the eye-opening to the downright weird.
For a standard ticket of $45, you can watch any or all of these films, though you have to register for each title on theopen.sifa.sg because of the theatre's limited seating capacity.
Besides the films, you can also catch dozens of performances, talks and exhibitions.
