Congratulations Tan Chui Mui on your wins! 👏
It was a great night for Malaysian filmmaker, Tan Chui Mui at the ASEAN International Film Festival last Friday. The local director stole the spotlight as she took home the night’s highest honour, the Best Film award for her 2021 feature film, Barbarian Invasion.
The character who is also a recent mother struggles to do so as she is figuring out her identity. Tan got the inspiration for the film from her journey with motherhood. Although the story is a blurry depiction of the truth, Tan felt it was important to tell the story. Apart from Tan, the film also stars other local talents such as Bront Palarae, Pete Teo, James Lee, and Mano Maniam, while Woo Ming Jin serves as producer. And since its premiere, the film has gone on to achieve remarkable success.
Her debut short film, A Tree In Tanjung Malim, for instance, won the Principal Award at the 51st Oberhausen International Short Film Festival in France.
