We will also re-screen Akashdeep Singh's PINTU (5 min/Malaysia/In Malay) to celebrate its win at Festival Filem Malaysia ke-20 as Filem Pendek Terbaik. It had, of course, been an audience favourite at a previous edition of Malaysian Shorts.
Interesting. My film has the shortest running time among all short films. Anyway, Vertical Distance was recently selected for screening at the Jogja-Netpac Asian Film Festival in Indonesia, and this will mark its Malaysian premiere.
I can't attend the event as I am heading off to Chile on the very same night. I'll get into that in my next post later.
But please go there and support me!!!!
(... and other Malaysian short films!)
That is all.
