KOTA SAMARAHAN, 9th May 2017 : Congratulations to UNIMAS Cinematography students, Tay Sheik Er and her team, for winning award at the Flicks Fiesta SEA 2017.
They had recently won the "Life Impact Award" for their film "Steam Fish" at Flicks Fiesta SEA 2017.
This award is bestowed in memory of the late Yasmin Ahmad, one of the prominent filmmakers in Malaysia for her films, just to name a few, "Sepet", "Gubra", "Muallaf" and "Talentime".
The Life Impact Award is a continuation from Yasmin Ahmad Award last year, which celebrates Yasmin's contribution in celebrating Malaysians’ lives, raising awareness on societal diversity and changing narrow perceptions on what constitutes a Malaysian through her motion pictures.
Flicks Fiesta is a student-organized short film festival initiated by degree students of KDU Penang University College in 2015.
Since then, this short film festival grew from a local event to a national festival.
The initial idea of Flicks Fiesta was to provide a platform for students to showcase their final year productions.
It was aimed at young filmmakers to showcase their independent productions, new exposures, and to experience a sense of accomplishment.
