由于冲绳电影票价昂贵（普通票价大约16美金或者1600日元），平时爱看电影的我，来到冲绳一年多还没有进去正式的戏院去看过电影。这次冲绳政府为了刺 激经济，搞了首届的冲绳国际电影节，票价才800日元，我当然不会放过这个难得的机会！票价便宜，又能够看到外国影片，何乐而不为呢！“和平和欢笑”，这是首届冲绳国际电影节的主题，电影界主要以喜剧片为主。深夜网上查询的时候，赫然发现冯小刚的“非诚勿扰”有被邀请参加影展。哇！冯导的戏，不得了（除了“夜宴”以外）！今天早上就特别早起，和朋友开车一起冲到住家附近的戏院去买票。
一 抵达现场，就看见一大堆人聚集在戏院门口，人山人海。我心下马上想：“糟了！应该要排很长的队。而且搞不好，戏票早就卖完了！”走近一看，心里轻松了许 多。原来售票处前空无一人，群众全部都是沿着红地毯排站，大家都在等明星的到来。愉快地买了戏票后（柜台小姐真是非常礼貌和耐心，和新加坡的服务态度差了 10万8千里），我和朋友两个就凑在人群中，想看看到底是哪位日本明星要大驾光临。
11点半左右，一阵骚动。我朝红地毯的一端望去，竟然是徐若萱和冯小刚！我以为冲绳这个小地方绝对请不到什么大牌明星，结果竟然是两位大牌！我马上拿相机猛拍，心里当时还有想冲上前跟冯小刚要个签名！
人山人海！
徐若萱和冯小刚
新加坡电影节怎么就请不到什么大牌？！没有经费？难道冲绳的经费会比新加坡多？奇怪，奇怪。。。人家就是有政府支持。新加坡政府呢？Maybe our practical government would prefer to support organizations that can more "efficiently" generate income (such as casino) ?Another thing which I found interesting is the party atmosphere of the film festival. Uncles, aunties, kids and families were all present around the festival venue. The organizers arranged free talks or performances to allow Okinawans to join in the fun. Many Japanese stars took time to come to Okinawa to perform or share their experiences. I couldn't see the heavy involvement of the local grassroot Singaporeans or local media artistes (except show face in premieres) in our Singapore film festival. Why? Maybe Singapore uncles and aunties were not interested in film arts? Maybe the organizers do not have them in mind when they are planning the SIFF? Maybe Singaporeans just bo chap about arts and mediacorp actors? Or just not "efficient" enough?
或许新加坡电影节和其他有关部门可以参考小小冲绳岛的经验。办电影节，除了为了让观众欣赏最多高素质的电影，电影节的氛围，全民的参与感也非常重要。
