PASSPORT
18 third-year performing art students showcase
the little important things that are often overlooked in life by screening 3
short films and a devised theatre performance.
Passport
is a final year project by 18 third year students of the Department of
Performance and Media, Sunway University. Through this final year project,
these students collaborate to produce 3 short films and a devised theatre
performance.
The central theme for the 3 short films (Abang, Diri and
Dual) is ‘Relationships’ – portraying the difficulty in holding on to the
relationships that matter most. What happens when you lose the most important
person you never thought you could lose so easily?
List of Short Films
ABANG
Two friends who have been living
their lives off other people’s misery are finally put to test when they
encounter an unexpected gift on one of their paid jobs.
DIRI
After losing her sister, Aysha
journeys through her past to find closure.
DUAL
An action-comedy that unfolds a story
of fate and coincidence between two police inspectors.
As for devised theatre, our themes include, “Relationships
that don’t matter”, “Gender Bias”, “Old Folks”, “Dreams” and “1Malaysia”. After managing S.C.A.M festival and
performing their theatre project, Malaysia@Random,
in Georgetown Festival and Sunway Education Expo, these students continue to
experiment with the instruments they used for their past projects like the
overhead projector, shadows, music, dance and more in devising this
performance.
The students managed to get well-known
actors to starin their films. Among the actors are Sharifah Amani, known for
her roles in several Yasmin Ahmad’s films;Fatimah Abu Bakar, a known veteran
actress in the industry; andMike Chuah, who acted in The Collector, a chinese action comedy film directed by James Lee. They
are also being supervised by Mark Teh, a theatre practitioner and Brenda
Danker, a film and TV producer.
