SINGAPORE - For those willing to go beyond the ordinary, the 30th Singapore International Film Festival offers good choices, especially from women film-makers.
Australian drama-comedy Babyteeth (117 minutes, rating to be confirmed, screening Nov 24 and 30) is a portrait of a romance between Milla (Eliza Scanlen), a schoolgirl from a middle-class home, and petty criminal Moses (Toby Wallace).
