hi everyone
Tan Pin Pin's new movie will be showing next weekend, for 3 days only. It got a great reception when it was shown at the Film Fest this year. Now it's your turn.
Yeah, I know you could be watching War of the Worlds. But Singapore GaGa will linger far longer than what ever Spielberg has done. Don't miss it.
And concession prices applies for students and NS guys.

SYPNOSIS
The latest work by award winning filmmaker Tan Pin Pin is a whimsical portrait of Singapore through its music and sounds. It features performances of train announcements ("Eating or drinking is not allowed on the stations and trains"), Madrasah school cheers and by avant garde toy pianist Margaret Leng Tan amongst many others. Its a tapestry of montages, songs, and cinema verite vignettes lovingly stitched together.
