Chris Chong's "Karaoke" goes to Cannes Film Festival
Malaysian film "Karaoke" will be screened at the Directors' Fornight of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, making it the first Malaysian feature film in 14 years to be screened at one of the world's oldest, most influential and prestigious film festivals.
Initiated in 1969 by the French Director's Society, the Directors' Fortnight has long been a platform highlighting new talent in world cinema. Since its inception, the Directors' Fornight has discovered and held the first French screenings of debut films by George Lucas, Martin Scorsese and Spike Lee, among others.
"Karaoke" tells the story of Betik's homecoming. Set in a village estate of a Malaysian oil palm plantation, Betik returns to his village to help his mother. During the day, Betik helps shoot karaoke videos, while at night, he lends a hand to his reluctant mother at the family's karaoke joint. Directed by Chris Chong, "Karaoke" was written by Shanon Shah and features Zahiril Adzim, Mislina Mustaffa, Mohd Hariry and others.
Watch the trailer here:
Fyi, "Karaoke" has also been nominated for the Camera d'Or (Golden Camera), the award for the best first feature film presented in any one of the Cannes' selections (Official Selection, Directors' Fortnight or International Critics' Week).
Visit Tanjung Aru Pictures for more info on "Karaoke" and other works by Chris Chong.
