Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing delivered an electrifying masterclass to a sold-out ballroom full of screaming fans at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands on Friday.
The in-conversation event was part of the 34th Singapore International Film Festival where Fan is the recipient of this year’s Cinema Icon Award. The festival is screening three of Fan’s films, curated by her – the recent “Green Night,” “Buddha Mountain” and “Double Xposure” – and the star walked the red carpet on opening night, Nov. 30.

The 34th edition of the Singapore International Film Festival (Sgiff) today announced the return of two of its awards, the Cinema Icon Award and the International Federation of Film Critics (Fipresci) Award, which were last part of the Silver Screen Awards in 2019 and 2006 respectively.
