Celebrities to help SDP raise funds
WEDNESDAY, 19 OCTOBER 2011
Singapore Democrats
Singapore's very own celebrities
are helping the Singapore Democrats raise funds. Filmmaker Glen
Goei as well as actors Lim Kay Siu and Neo Swee Lin will make an
appearance at the public screening of the hit movie The Blue Mansion.
The movie,
directed by Mr Goei, was released in 2009. It
revolves around a wealthy patriach who dies
suddenly. His ghost returns to discover the
cause of his death only to find his three grown-up children
squabbling over his estate, among other quirky developments. Read
reviews here.
Written by former Straits
Times political reporter Mr Ken Kwek, The Blue
Mansionis described as "classy" and its production
"top-notch". It won Best Film in Singapore's Entertianment awards
in 2010 and Mr Goei was Best
Director.
The movie was the Opening Film at the prestigious Berlin Film
Festival. It was also chosen for screening at film festivals from
Tokyo to Shanghai to Hawaii.
This event will help raise funds for the Democrats as we continue
our push for political change in Singapore. Work for the next
elections has already started in earnest and we need funds to
spread our message of change.
Fans will be able to get up close and personal with Mr Goei as he
will be taking questions following the screening of the
movie.
Mr Lim and Ms
Neo will also be on hand for a discussion about the movie - and
beyond.
Is there an underlying message that the movie
tries to convey?
Did the Media
Development Authority insist on cuts to the original script?
Will the movie
industry in Singapore produce films that are political in nature in
the future?
It's your chance to ask Mr Goei and the cast their views on these
and other matters.
Tickets are available from $50 and will include a reception with
the celebrities, photo-ops, and the Q&A session.
When was the last you attended an event like
this, organised by an opposition party and graced by our homegrown
movie stars?
It's another
first in Singapore and you won't want to miss this great occasion.
What's more, the proceeds will go towards bringing about democracy
in this nation of ours.
