Italian Film Festival in Singapore
The Italian Cultural Institute plays a very big part in the promotion of Italian culture in Singapore. There are always new and exciting events on the horizon, and they have a wonderful support system that is extremely adept at helping to spread the word about their terrific events. It’s one way to keep in touch with what’s happening with Italian culture in Singapore. Another way, of course, is by regular visits to your favorite Italian restaurant . If you don’t have a favorite yet, or if you’re coming to Singapore for the first time, rest assured you will have a few favorites in a very short amount of time.
The culture in Singapore is impossible to classify, because there are so many cultures that exist here. The Chinese, Malay, and Indian populations are very sizable, and there are influences from their traditions all over this vibrant city state. There are many other cultures here, too, and of course one the best ways to discover them is through food. Singaporeans are, generally speaking, very discerning eaters, and dinner time is a very exceptional part of the day. It’s a splendid time to be alive anywhere, but here in particular, mealtimes are pretty spectacular. The availability of fresh ingredients makes it particularly lovely for chefs as well as patrons, because there are limitless possibilities for what can be obtained here, and a limitless passion for trying new things.
The same passion extends into film, and this is demonstrated by the success of the Italian Film Festival where, for two weeks, residents of Singapore are treated to a host of recent cinema from one of the greatest film cultures on earth. Some of the greatest masters of cinema are Italian, and the recent festival showcased films by Andrea Molaioli, Anna Negri, and Gabriela Salvatores. The festival always marks new benchmarks in the history of Italian and world film, and this was certainly no different. The 2009 festival was a bit grander than usual, being part of the European Season in Singapore , but it is always an exciting time to be here.
