Malaysian sensaysh in SF
Malaysia's Star gives the local angle on 6 Malaysian movies slated in next month's 48th San Francisco International Film Festival. "The organisers said the festival this year has a special focus on Malaysia, a multi-cultural society where the development of digital video and the growing sophistication of a new, cine-literate generation in the past three years has seen the emergence of an independent film movement. SFIFF's executive director Roxanne Messina Captor's quoted: “Filmmakers are taking risks and using the medium to speak out about the social issues that affect their country and the world at large, such as economic collapse in Argentina and the Enron corporation, political corruption in Peru and Denmark, the rise of US neo-conservatism and Islamic fundamentalism."
