March is the time to...

1. Start filing income tax.

2. Check out the Christian Lacroix exhibition that will take place at the National Museum 20 March onwards.

3. Buy tickets for the Singapore International Film Festival. A shortage of Japanese and Taiwanese films disappoints me. I think it was the same last year but I don't remember that well. I didn't catch a single film last year. It was a combination of film fatigue and the fact that nothing from the selection jumped at me. It's not quite jumpy for me this year as well but I think I'll be going to a few that caught my eye.


Still Walking / Aruitemo Aruitemo
From Kore-eda Hirokazu, the director of Nobody Knows (which was heartbreaking).




Wendy and Lucy




The Black Balloon
Model Gemma Ward's film debut.




How to Be
Pre-Edward Cullen.




Fireflies in the Garden



Girl Inside
Couldn't find a trailer but it sounds intriguing. I get tired of drag queen movies that I don't even watch.

The Black Balloon is an awesome film. A bit like A Little Miss Sunshine, but a lot of sad and real. Hope you'll like it as much as I did!

that's kinda slack. you'd think a mention of the official website when there is such a complete and official one available would be most important to a story about the siff...

ah well. hope you find lots to love from it!

i'm looking forward to wendy and lucy. i like michelle williams very much. =)
