UNIVERSITI Brunei Darussalam (UBD) launched the UBD TV Short Film Festival yesterday which saw in attendance international superstar and celebrity Goh Kiat Chun, popularly known as Wu Chun, who was also the guest of honour.
The festival opened with the screening of a short film by UBD’s talented short filmmakers at The Core, UBD, while the festival treated the UBD community with several short films that lasted into late evening. The UBD TV Short Film Festival was organised by UBD TV in collaboration with The Creative Core BN.
The event was also attended by Associate Professor Dr Mohammad Ayub Sadiq @ Lin Naing, Assistant Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) of UBD.
One of the films played during the ceremony was ‘Selamat Malam’, directed by Nippy Jufri from Visionary Project. The short film tells the story of a group of friends who went camping at the beach as they trade real-life ghost stories. Soon their competitive nature began to take over as they try to outdo each other with their own version of scary tales.
The six other short films that were presented at the event were ‘Aku Ada Cerita’ by Hakim Salleh, ‘Masa’ by Nostrils Production, ‘Al-Fatihah’ by AE Cinema, and ‘Horizon’, ‘If Only’, and ‘The Hero’ by UBD students taking the Short Film Making class.
The directors of the short films were presented with certificates by Wu Chun.
