This weekend, the 2012 Korean Film Festival arrives in Singapore, courtesy of the Embassy of South Korea and the Singapore Film Society.

That's in addition to the Perspectives Film Festival, which returns this year with a focus on sexuality, and several films with LGBT issues, including the Turkish film Zenne Dancer, in which three close friends deal with what it means to be gay in Turkey, and Fire, one of the first Indian films to portray a homosexual relationship within an Indian family.

Elsewhere in cinemas, our pick of the week goes to Pitch Perfect, a high school musical comedy that gives television's Glee a run for its money both on the music and bitchiness factors. Anna Kendrick stars as an aspiring deejay whose mashup arrangements may be just the thing to propel a moribund college choir to the top.

All in Good Time shows just what a bad idea living with the in-laws is if you're newlyweds seeking space and 'couple time' of yourselves. Blending bedroom farce, family drama, and ethnic comedy, the film exactly what you expect from putting the creators of Calendar Girls and East is East together.

Till next week,

Vernon Chan
