With high profile films fests like Tribeca and Cannes grabbing hordes of attention as of late, it's always good to point out other niche world festivals that aim to secure their roles as significant content curators. The 2011 China Film Festival is one such event. In fact, asiaone News is reporting that the China Film Festival is returning to Singapore for this year's exhibition run.

"The five-day China Film Festival will open on June 6 with the critically acclaimed Deep in the Clouds, a love story set in the remote mountains directed by Liu Jie, which swept four awards at the 13th Shanghai International Film Festival last year.

It will close on June 10 with Eternal Moment, a box office hit in China directed by Zhang Yibai and produced by popular actor Li Yapeng, who also starred in the film opposite top-rated actress Xu Jinglei.

The 2011 China Film Festival is organised by the Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA) and supported by the Film Bureau under China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT)

This is the second time that both parties are collaborating to host film festivals in each other's country, following the inaugural Singapore Film Festival in Beijing and Shanghai in 2007, and the first China Film Festival in Singapore in 2008."
