DAWNRIDGE, REVISITED
The book Tony Duquette’s Dawnridge showcases the late designer’s legendary Beverly Hills estate. The 1949 home is widely considered one of the most resplendent in America—its mirrored ceilings and gleaming shell-encrusted obelisks offer an enduring tribute to Duquette’s love of optical illusion, ornate embellishment and impeccable craftsmanship. One hundred and three films, 44 countries, 12 days. Add to that, postshow discussions with directors in attendance, masterclasses with veteran filmmakers including Stanley Kwan, and In Conversation sessions with international stars such as
Joan Chen—who will also be receiving the Cinema Legend Award—and Daniel Dae Kim.
The 29th Singapore International Film Festival continues to showcase quality independent cinema, and celebrate and nurture Asian cinematic talents. From debut features by future visionaries to Southeast Asian premieres by established auteurs, there is a film for everyone to enjoy. From 28 November to 9 December, across multiple venues.
