MALAYSIAN SHORTS: 4 June

Two years ago, I was somewhat lacking in motivation to keep on curating and hosting this (due to an unpleasant encounter with someone's monstrous ego) but now I have renewed joy in doing Malaysian Shorts. Because it's all about the work, and the experience of sharing. Alhamdulillah.

Monday 4 June, starting 8:10pm, at HELP University Theaterette.

You may confirm on Facebook here.

10 short films by Malaysian directors, most of whom will be present to answer your questions.

It is FREE. No need to RESERVE, just turn up!

Vote for your 3 favourite shorts of the night!
