Events in the Endoscope

My semester just ended. I don't want to spend seven weeks doing nothing but playing TF2 and Civilization IV, so today I went to school alone and picked up some leaflets. One thing I like about my school's media division is that they spam all these festivals and events at you through email and on the bulletin boards.

22 and 23 August - Screening of Singaporean short films
Bunch of filmmakers and films I've never heard of before, but admission is free. I'm going to the National Museum for tickets tomorrow and see how our arts scene is doing.

25 and 29 August - Japanese film festival. Brochure capitalizes a lot of names, but no Kurosawa. Some of the films shown will be free, and others are worth 10 bucks, but the paid-admission ones are all R21 so we can forget those. Only two films I can legally see, both horror. Yay?

28 and 29 August there are free film screenings too, but they are both old Hollywood musicals and those are like ham sandwiches so I'm gonna skip those. The big gimmick is the open air cinema.

4 September - Talk on casting the right actors in school

25 and 26 September - free screenings of Little Shop of Horrors and Beetlejuice.


There is a class chalet organized, but I've been conspicuously left out of the loop.

I'm also thinking about seeing District 9 and going back to swimming. Anyone interested in any of the above, give me a shout.
