The Singapore International Film Festival comes back this Nov 26-Dec 6 with a ton of new stuff in store. Aside from showing the newest and most eclectic regional Asian films, the 26th edition will take place across a bunch of cool new venues around town.

While the main line-up, which was curated from over 1,400 submissions, isn't out yet, there are two iconic local films celebrating their 20th anniversary on show this time around. Eric Khoo's Mee Pok Man, a Romeo and Juliet-type story set in Singapore and filmed at the stall now known as hipster restaurant Bincho makes a comeback this year. There's also newly restored film Bugis Street by Taiwanese director Yonfan. It was his first foray into independent filmmaking and centers around the story of transvestites and transsexuals living in 1960s Bugis Street.

Plus, the venues this year are pretty plush. Last year, indie theater The Projector burst onto the scene by hosting a few SGIFF screenings. This year the honor falls on the National Gallery of Singapore, which opens in November. Other venues will include Marina Bay Sands, National Museum of Singapore, Shaw Theatres Lido, The Substation and, of course, The Projector.
