'Red Dragonflies' opened amidst the election fever in Singapore and seemed visually to coincide with the theme of 'reclaiming Singapore' pretty well. After all, the film presented glimpses of things we left behind, working seniors (working hard in the kitchen that is!) and extended views of the National Junior College P.E. attire which is as red as the Singapore Democratic Party. Playing to a warm and friendly crowd consisting of cast and crew, here are some snapshots from the event.
