8 nominations

Susuk has received eight nominations for the upcoming Festival Filem Malaysia.

The nominees are:

Best Actor (Adlin Aman Ramlie)
Best Cinematography (Daven Raghavan)
Best Music Score (Hardesh Singh)
Best Production Design (Kek Ting Lam)
Best Sound Design (Add Audio)
Most Promising Actress (Diana Rafar)
Best Costume Design (Mohd Zaini Abdul Rahman)
Best Poster (yes!)

Unfortunately the film could not be nominated in 4 key categories: Story, Screenplay, Directing and Editing because the FFM rules state that the nominees have to be Malaysian citizens. My co-writer and co-director Naeim Ghalili is American, and our editor Zalee is Singaporean. Similarly, Sepi this year and Cinta last year could not be nominated for Best Director because Kabir Bhatia is Indian.

Oh well. Congratulations to all the nominees! The results will be announced Saturday night.

fasal non citizen Malaysia tu mengarut. Apa jadi bila sebuah filem tu usahasama pelbagai tenaga dan duit pelbagai negara? Isu kerakyatan dah lapuk, mengapa FFM terlalu bersifat kebangsaan? Tetapi kalau ada yang boleh beritahu aku, mmg ada festival seperti FFM, sila beritahu. Ceaser Award cama tu kah juga? Aku tahu Bafta tak.

Hi En. Amir,

Filem Susuk memang bagus. Saya suka ending-nya. Bagaikan tersentak dari mimpi apabila saya mencantumkan plot demi plot dan memahami jalan ceritanya.

Syabas!

Kita lihat apa kata juri pada malam ini (FFM21).

Sekali lagi, syabas!

Terima kasey Joyce! Tapi seperti yang saya pernah katakan (dan dipetik juga dalam artikel Berita Harian) saya harapkan Poster Terbaik je ;-)

Ummm Inche Fadz... ini Festival Filem MALAYSIA la, bukannya Festival Filim Singapora.

Kalau ada kategori untuk filem asing a-la Academy Awards bolehlah orang luar masuk tanding. But as it stands, national film awards are meant to be a celebration of and encouragement for local talent. Atau mau saja karyawan industri filim kita sampai jadi melukut seperti karyawan industri pengiklanan kita sejak iklan asing diizin tayang tanpa kekangan?

Cobaklah ko pergi sana Indonesia dan tandingkan filem ko tengok. Jangan kata masuk festival, nak mengarah pun tak diizinkan.

Let's not make it sound as if Malaysia is such a backward country like what the political nuts are making it to be, shall we.

Will you be doing more films?
