The project market is attached to the Golden Horse Film Festival, held annually in Taiwan.
Former Golden Horse Award-winning actress Lee Sinje is set as the executive producer of the Malaysian title “ABang ADik” directed by Jin Ong, a previous winner of the Golden Horse FPP Grand Prize. Ariel Lin , two-time winner of Golden Bell best actress, is the producer of Chou Mei-yu’s “The Blind Love,” a Taiwan project.
The four Malaysian projects also include “Ravenous Maidens of the South Seas,” a fantastical tale of Asian explorers by Edmund Yeo, winner of best director at the Tokyo International Film Festival . Also selected are social drama “Were Tiger” by Malaysian director Lau Kek-huat and Chong Keat-sun’s “Snow in Midsummer,” which deals with the 13 May Incident, the 1969 racial riots that changed the course of Malaysia’s history.
Oliver Chan presents “Her Lullaby,” a new project exploring the notion of being a good mother following her successful directorial debut “Still Human.” “Scent of Love,” a drama that plays around the sense of smell by Luk Yee-sum, is also among the selection.
