A landmark

Share with me the joyful news that (to my knowledge) there is a momentous premiere for Singaporean film in Germany to celebrate: Eric Khoo’s brilliantly affecting “Be With Me” of 2005 (and winner of this year’s ymagonale audience award btw) is now the first ever feature film from Singapore to get a limited theatrical release, in Berlin of course. Thanks to the tireless efforts and good care of trigon-film (Switzerland), who have secured a more than deserved total of 11.115 admissions for this fine movie so far, July 17^th saw “Be With Me” finally making its overdue debut at this city’s box office. Screenings (OmU) will continue all week at the Fsk am Oranienplatz, Segitzdamm 2, 10969 Berlin, 18:00 and 22:15 respectively. So don’t miss out on catching this one while it lasts; it really is excellent, take my word for it!
