Factors’ nicknames emphasize the Miffest mission of defending the narration of local stories while embracing international joint production, as the Kuala Lumpur festival is a major player in the Southeast Asian circuit with a strong selection of 62 goals that extend to 48 countries.
The festival will respect the Hong Kong T work icon with a lifelong achievement award. The 78 -year -old star, whose career will extend in the golden age of martial arts cinema, will receive honor at the Malaysia Golden Golden Golden Awards on July 26 in Zip.
Tribute includes shows for John Woo “A Better Tomorrow” and Jess Teong “The Kid from the Big App”, with Ti Lung’s participation in questions and answers sessions and hosting a major chapter. Programming is part of the MIFFEST “Master In Work” series, which also celebrates the Cental anniversary of Indian Raj Kapoor with “AWARA” and “Bobby” shows.
Miffest also lays the red carpet of Indonesian actor Reda Kiradyan, who will receive the Premier League Award in the movie. The star “Habibie & Ainun” will join the festival jury alongside the British documentary Asif Capadia (“Sina”, “Amy”), the Malaysian actress Diana Daniel, Jennifer Yu, and the director of the Indian director Rima Das.
The festival competition list includes nine titles, with a German -German drama “All that is Stuly You” by Cherien Dabis, which leads the international award race in Malaysia with seven nominations. The Chinese entry, “My friend Ann Daily”, follows by Dong Zijian with five gestures, while “DJ Ahmet”, “Red Path” and “to an unknown land” recorded four nominations.
Miffest has also held a partnership with the twenty -fifth European Union Festival to provide 15 European titles. The “Miffest X Euff” sidebar opens a Czech drama “The Widow Year” and is characterized by Nordic Noir “The Girl with the Needle” and “TASTE Of Freedom”.
Cooperation represents the Miffest strategy to put Malaysia as a cultural bridge between Eastern and Western cinema, where festivals are looking to increase international production opportunities.
Benefiting from the exciting leadership of ASEAN in Malaysia, Miffest is the highlight of regional cinema with six titles in Southeast Asia, including the Vietnamese drama “Cu Li Never Cries” and Singapore Whiller “Stranger Eyes”. Programming is supported by the National Film Development Foundation in Malaysia (FINAS) and includes the industry summit that includes the “Train to Busan” product.
The festival highlights female sounds with “lenses of Indian films makers”, which include four titles including “Village Rockstars 2” from Rima Das. The program reflects the increasing attention of industry to gender parity in the film industry throughout Asia.
With 38 Malaysians of the 62 titles, Miffest is betting that the multicultural population in Malaysia can help create Kuala Lumpur as a festival destination for Singapore and Bangkok in the regional circle.
