We know the words "Hungry Ghost Festival" pretty well in Singapore. We know that there will be offerings - by the roadsides, outside the homes, with the communities, prayers & rituals, residental & business community dinners & auctions, and of course the ubiquitous GeTai. But do we really know what Hungry Ghost Festival or Zhong Yuan Jie is all about?

at a tentage next to
Spring St, off South Bridge Road (going into Neil Rd), Chinatown, made possible with
Sinema MobileI just came back from a sneak preview. We wanted the 'operator' to continue with the show as we were just warming up. It is primarily in English.

Bring along your children who will learn a thing or two about the Chinese culture. Bring along your Grandpa and Grandma who will be able to share more details with you, and perhaps, later with us? (^^)
There will be a "Meet the Director" session after the movie, where you can get to know more about how this movie was made.
