short films worth a repeat viewing
I wish to thank Astro for screening the 10 shortlisted short films in the Vellithirai Short Film Contest over the Vellihirai channel 202.
The 10 short films produced by locals were screened from Monday o Friday earlier this month. Each day, two short films were shown. Each short film was about 10 to 15 minutes long and touch on a variety of themes and social concerns of Indian Malaysians.
the films were skillfully crafted and of great appeal to short story enthusiasts. They were indeed a breath of fresh air compared with the lenghty serials viewers are inundated with day after day.
I hope more such films will be produced in future for the development of the short film industry and to instil greater awareness among the audience. Maybe Astro could repeat last year’s short films. They are indeed worth a secod viewing.
S.Y.
