(Krátké filmy - Malajsie), Various / Malajsie, 2000
original version / English subtitles, 65 min
Love for Dogs (dir.: Woo Ming Jin, 2003)
Film features remarkably
controlled long takes that magnifies the glaring
loneliness of two individuals: a conniving vagabond
and a girl who pretends to be deaf-mute.
Woman of the Cosmos (dir.: Diffan Sina Norman, 2003)
Diffan Sina Norman‘s imaginative animated
short creates an alternate world where a Muslim
woman is picked, in a game show, to become the
first Malaysian in space.
Kamunting (dir.: Amir Muhammad, 2002)
Part of Amir
Muhammad‘s acclaimed 6horts. It is essay-film
that is narrated primarily through text and visuals.
As always, humour and politics go hand-in-hand. This time, Muhammad visits a prisoner arrested
as a result of Malaysia‘s Internal Security
Act, a policy that allows the government to hold
prisoners for any unspecified amount of time
without trial.
I Dream of the Fat Man (dir.: Mak Joon Keat, 2005)
A highly
surrealistic experimental animation, its title
is self-explanatory.
Linda (dir.: Kit Ong, 2005)
What do you do if someone recognizes you, but you don‘t remember having ever met them?
Raining Amber (dir.: Azharr Rudin, 2005)
At a bus stop, the man tries on increasingly animated antics to get the woman‘s attention.
