About Shallow Grave:

Synopsis: 3 housemates find their roommate dead from a drug overdose and steal the suspiciously large amount of money that he had left behind. Fueled by self-absorption and cynicism, the trio make bad decisions that lead to grim consequences.

Shallow Grave established Boyle’s dynamic storytelling and kinetic visuals that remain a hallmark of most of his films to date. With its black humour and nastily cynical characters shot in gritty locations, the film was made on a tight budget because Boyle felt that it gave him a greater sense of control. Boyle is known for his cult hit Trainspotting (1996), acclaimed films such as Slumdog Millionaire (2008) and 127 Hours (2010), and was responsible for directing the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony.

About Perspectives Film Festival:

Perspectives Film Festival: Breakthroughs in Cinema returns to the theme of Independent Cinema from around the world.

Running at the National Museum of Singapore from 3rd to 6th October, Perspectives Film Festival 2013 is set to feature a stellar line-up of exciting and diverse programming of independent films.

Joining Television, a festival favourite at the 2012 Busan International Film Festival, are four other award-winning titles, including Black Silk by Rattana Pestonji and Shallow Grave by Danny Boyle. The Boys from Fengkuei by Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Mean Streets by Martin Scorsese, both of which are having their 30th and 40th anniversary respectively, are also part of this superb line-up. These independent films will be screened the way they were orignally seen when they were released – in traditional 35mm format.
