Short films - Malaisia

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.
