LOCAL filmmaker, Abdul Zainidi, recently took time off from his studies in Busan, Korea, to attend the Asean Culture House event that features and promotes Brunei culture.
The Asean Culture House is a government organisation and institute where Asean member countries promote their culture, arts and handicraft.
Brunei was invited to showcase its culture at the event, with Abdul Zainidi being one of the participants.
Abdul Zainidi is on scholarship at the Busan Asian Film School this year, where he is undergoing an intensive one year course in filmmaking business and producing. The young local filmmaker was invited to introduce two of his films ‘More Vanishing Children’ and ‘Yasmine’ to the Korean public.
‘More Vanishing Children’ left the audience intrigued, presenting a somewhat unusual side of Brunei Darussalam.
Beforehand, he noted that the film was his way of presenting in a package a collection of ghost stories told to him in Tutong, Brunei.
Meanwhile, Abdul Zainidi’s films have also been selected for this month’s Busan International Short Film Festival, notably ‘Still Vanishing Children,’ the third in the series, which will be shown on April 27.
