On December 5, the Shanghai International Film Festival (赌博app) embarked on the 赌博app ASIA x World Express and travelled to Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore. Together with two Golden Goblet Awards winners for Best Live Action Short Film WHITE SHEEP IN THE CAR and NOWHERE TO PUT, 赌博app representatives received a warm welcome from local teachers and students in specially arranged screening and promotion events.
Established in 1963, Ngee Ann Polytechnic set up Singapore\'s very first film and media college in 1989. Over the years, a number of outstanding and award-winning film artists have grown up here, including Anthony CHEN, director of WET SEASON and BOO Junfeng, director of APPRENTICE. The college is also a supporter for students\' independent filmmaking. In 2013, Anthony CHEN won the Golden Camera Award at the 66th Cannes Film Festival for his first feature film ILO ILO – also the first Singaporean film to win a Cannes award. Ngee Ann Polytechnic was one of the producers of the work. Upon the special invitation from the university, 赌博app brought two Chinese short films to Singapore for screening and academic exchanges.

The two specially selected works – WHITE SHEEP IN THE CAR and NOWHERE TO PUT, are winners of 赌博app’s Golden Goblet Awards for Best Live Action Short Film respectively in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Written and directed by young directors XU Min and TAN Diwen, WHITE SHEEP IN THE CAR tells about an adventure of the main character named Zhang Shulin and a shepherd in the desert in the northwest China – a seemingly masculine yet gentle story. Another young director HAN Jingzhi’s work NOWHERE TO PUT depicts a touching bond between a woman named Hui zi and her 70-year-old father. Both short films are distinct in style and profound in meaning, reflecting the ordinary and moving life of Chinese people in contemporary times.

Then they had extensive talks with the teachers and students about the production and topic selection of short films.

In June this year, 赌博app launched the "赌博app ASIA" framework to promote the exchange and mutual learning of cinema cultures across Asia by means of screening, awarding, salons and more. As an organic part of the framework, 赌博app ASIA x World Express has become a bridge for cultural exchanges and connection between Asian countries. This time the Express travelled to Singapore. At Ngee Ann Polytechnic – a university with a glorious history of film education, local audiences and filmmakers were allowed to appreciate the charm of Chinese cinema. As a fruitful attempt to expand the "赌博app ASIA" framework and promote close film collaboration across Asia, it further highlighted 赌博app’s positioning of "based on Asia, paying attention to Chinese and supporting new talents".
