We are so happy that Singapore has been put on the map. I just got back from Beijing. We hope to convey this love to even more people around the world and tell our story in Singapore. "
Lau continued in the same vein. "We all did it for our love of cinema and acting. We did not expect it to be so successful. It's very damning, "she said.
The festival kicked off with the premiere of the Taiwanese black film "Cities of Last Things" in Southeast Asia. Director Ho Wi Ding directed his casting on the red carpet.
