The outsider’s category_ide to ScreenSingapore 2011
The inaugural ScreenSingapore is the first international film event held in Singapore. The eight-day event, which kicks off on Sunday, may look like a trade event for industry players at first glance but there are still a few treats for local film buffs.
Although the premiere screenings of films like “Treasure Inn” and “The Devil Inside Me”, which will take place during ScreenSingapore 2011, are only open to invited guests, those who wish to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars up close can do so when they walk the red carpet at the following events.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and “Lust Caution” actress Tan Wei will not be appearing due to scheduling problems, but there are still plenty of stars who will descend on Singapore for the event.
Those not interested in stargazing can catch a series of special preview screenings held in conjunction with the film festival.
Highlights include “A Summer in Genova”, starring Collin Firth as a man who moves with his two daughters in a bid to get over the tragedy of his wife’s death as well as “A Beautiful Life”, starring Shu Qi as a woman who cons a cop but later finds out she loves him.
