News Release News Release Board of ScreenSingapore to feature six new Asian members New board members will strengthen and contribute to Asian focus of ScreenSingapore Cannes, 18/05/2012 – Six new Asian faces will be appointed to the current Board of ScreenSingapore. This brings the lineup of the Board of ScreenSingapore to 14 members with the inclusion of industry players from China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. Asia is a key player in the global film landscape, and one of the fastest-growing demand drivers for entertainment in the world. The growth of the film industry in China and India with the buoyant outlook spending on movies and home entertainment in Asia Pacific which is projected to reach US$23.9 billion by 20141, increases the relevance of ScreenSingapore as a key international market in Asia for industry professionals and film-makers to engage in collaborations to contribute to this growth. Mr Greg Coote, Chairman of the Board of ScreenSingapore said: “The growing demand for Asian films and the massive emerging market is making the world turn its attention to the film production and distribution business in Asia. Our new board members bring with them many years of experience in the pan-Asian film industry, and I believe their contributions would be instrumental in strengthening the Asian focus in which ScreenSingapore has set out to achieve. I look forward to having them on board to make ScreenSingapore 2012 a success.” These individuals will join the Board of ScreenSingapore as board members for the two upcoming editions of ScreenSingapore: Yu Dong, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Bona Film Group (China) Nansun Shi, Chairman, Distribution Workshop (Hong Kong) 1 Source: Latest Global Entertainment & Media Outlook 2010 Page 1 of 4 Shanty Harmayn, Chief Executive Officer, Salto Film Company (Indonesia) Norman Abdul Halim, Executive President, KRU Studios (Malaysia) Melvin Ang, Executive Director, mm2 Entertainment (Singapore) Lim Teck, Managing Director, Clover Films (Singapore) The Board of ScreenSingapore provides strategic counsel on the direction and scope of the event.

  • A Review of the Malaysian Film Industry: Towards Better Film Workflow
    A REVIEW OF THE MALAYSIAN FILM INDUSTRY: TOWARDS BETTER FILM WORKFLOW ABDUL RIEZAL DIM A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education University of the West of England, Bristol September 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the existing film workflow processes in Malaysia and aims to explore, review and reflect on the expectations, experiences, preferences and problems experienced by practitioners. In-depth examination of real practices of colour film workflow, investigating the common myth among Malaysian filmmakers that environmental colour temperature affects the image quality of Malaysian films. Analysis of this myth may help to establish why many Malaysian films have been processed through foreign laboratory. Evidences from film industry were recorded through qualitative video documentation, alongside quantitative data from filmstrip test. This mixed action research method forms the main approach collectively with participatory action research as a tool to narrate the development of the research. In justifying the data, an explanatory mixed method design has been applied. The cooperation with expert witnesses in finding a solution to the research problem brought to the circle of practice-based research processes that validated the research. This validation becoming a central of investigation about the Malaysian film workflow complication. The initial technique (pursing the myth of colour temperature variation) proved inadequate, and, consequently, a broader action research methodology was adopted. As such, the filmstrip test data were used more as a tool to enhance the contributions of the expert witnesses, thereby shifting the direction and strengthening the research findings.

  • Development Issues for the Creative Economy in Malaysia
    Development Issues for the Creative Economy in Malaysia PhD Thesis Siti Suriawati Isa n6181228 Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology Submitted in full requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2012 Page | i Keywords Animation, museums, creative economy, experience industries, creative industries Malaysia. Page | ii Abstract Cultural tourism and creative industries have intersecting policy agendas and economic interdependencies. Most studies of the creative industries have focused on western countries. Cultural tourism is rarely included. However the arrival of the creative economy and its movement through developing countries has changed the relationship. Supporters of the creative economy now see fit to include tourism. This thesis addresses the development of the creative economy in Malaysia. The thesis conducted case studies on animation and museum sectors in Malaysia. These two case studies provide information on the development of creative economy in Malaysia. The study found that a top-down cultural management approach is being practised but that Malaysia is now influenced by new ideas concerning innovation and technical creativity. The study examined whether or not technical innovation by itself is enough. The reference points here are the Multimedia Super Corridor in Cyberjaya and other similar projects in the region. The museum case study was situated in Malacca. It showed that museums needed to adapt new media and new experiences to remain relevant in today’s world. In applying a case study approach, the thesis made use of interviews with key stakeholders, as well consulting numerous policy documents and web sites. Both case studies imitated similar products and services in the market but added local characteristics.
