In conjunction with Kelip-Kelip‘s Malaysiaku film screenings, we’ve got a bit of space to do a short αlphameet at their event!
αlphameets are a series of events organized by the TTGDMY, for our designers to meet with players, test their ideas for new games, and to playtest early prototypes. This is your chance to see for yourself, playtest and discuss raw gaming concepts, and contribute to Malaysia's nascent tabletop game design industry.
“Gelap. Apa yang aku lihat hanyalah kegelapan. Mata ini untuk melihat, tapi apa yang nak dilihat jika semuanya gelap? Ini cerita aku, cerita kami, cerita kita yang hidup dalam kegelapan.”
Khalil, Gadoh (2006)
Gadoh by Brenda Danker and Namron, is a film about racially segregated school students, where a theater instructor helped them explore the roots of their mindset and they grew into united people with a common story.
ஐகாட் (slang derived from jahat) is a 2015 Malaysian crime drama film directed by Shanjhey Kumar Perumal (who won the award for Best Director, at the 28th Malaysia Film Festival in 2016, where the film won the Best Malaysian Film award.) The film also represented Malaysia at ASEAN Film Fest 2017.
Set in the early 1990s, a critical period in Malaysian Indian history, the coming-of-age story subtly underlines the plight of the Indian Malaysians who were forsaken by the estate owners and forced to move to the cities, surviving under harsh circumstances. The story follows a mischievous 12-year-old boy named Appoy and his relationships with his father, Maniam, and his uncles, former drug addict Bala and local gangster Dorai.
