A haunted house. An African immigrant. A traditional Malaysian village. Sounds like fun!

That’s the premise for Liew Seng Tat’s next feature film, In What City Does It Live?, which has just been awarded the Prince Claus Film Fund grant of Euro15,000. He describes the story as a “humorous approach to superstition and racism in a small Muslim village.” The fund is aimed at encouraging filmmaking in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Liew Seng Tat is probably the brightest new star of the Malaysian independent scene. His Flower In The Pocket won the top prize in Pusan and is currently in the VPRO Tiger Awards competition in Rotterdam. In the photo are Liew and producer Michelle Lo at the 25th CINEMART awards night.
