Shirow Films in Singapore Film Festival '05

Something a bit more closer to home, for Shirow fans in Singapore (you lucky devils ^_^) please check out the 18th Singapore Film Festival '05, 14th to 30th April 2005. TWO Shirow titles are showing in theatres, and this is an opportunity not to be missed! It's not every year that we get to see two Masamune Shirow - based films showing on the big screen at the same event.

An excellent line-up!

For this year's film festival, the programme line-up included Mamoru Oshii's Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence and Shinji Aramaki's Appleseed. Of the two films, Ghost has a higher profile, and in fact had been slotted as the Closing Film of the festival on the 30th of April. Seats are limited though, and the shows will not be repeated. Those interested will need to book their tickets right now.

APPLESEED (NC16) / Ticket Price: $8.40
23rd April 2005, Saturday 11am
Venue: Prince 1 (P1)
100 Beach Road

GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE (NC16 / Closing Film) / Ticket Price: $21
30th April 2005, Saturday 7pm
Venue: Prince 1 (P1)

! Here are the necessary links:

:::::: 18th Singapore Film Festival '05 Official Website
All the info you need to know, including schedules & ticketing & movie sypnosis...
You can find the two films listed under the Special Programmes+ Asian Anime section.

:::::: SISTIC (Ticketing Agent for Singapore Film Festival)
Tip: search for Appleseed or Ghost In The Shell in the search section to get to the relevant ticket booking pages.

I hope this information is not too late... Pity I can't go and watch >_< Anyways, if any of you guys or gals manage to catch these two films, some feedback on the show and event ok? Hmm... Do any Singaporeans read this page anyway? ^_^||| I wonder if there will be a similiar event here in Malaysia / KL...

By the way, on an unrelated note, I do have my own film festival at home once in a while. Ever sat through an entire showing of Appleseed and 26 episodes of Stand Alone Complex all in the same day? I have, and it was a surreal experience. +_+ b Maybe in the middle of the year I will do a Stand Alone Complex Festival, 52 episodes of non-stop Section-9 action, followed by Tachikoma Specials O_O *bliss*....... but then again I should get a bigger TV set, and a better sound system. So maybe this isn't such a good idea after all :P

Hi Lucas, Chris here, just want to let you know...I'm going. Besides Appleseed & GITS, Tokyo Godfathers, Wonderful Days and Steamboy are being screened. I've seen all except Steamboy, but hey, it's on the big screen with digital sound...yeah. Sorry, getting excited.Anyways will keep you informed on how it went. The prices for each show is S$8.50, except for Steamboy and Innocence, which are S$21. They are the opening and closing films...sigh. Guess I won't be having any pop-corn.

Heya Chris, I was expecting you would go too :P The prices of the tickets are indeed a bit steep (especially when converted to RM!), but I suppose its ok. Worth watching those shows on the big screen atleast once. I've never watched any Shirow film on the big screen and I imagine it must be an awesome experience!

Keep me/us informed of how it went ya? Photos if possible ^o^ (not inside the theater when the show is playing of course~~~)
