In What City Does It Live? by Liew Seng Tat is the winner of the 2008 Prince Claus Fund Film Grant of €15,000 for a CineMart project. Liew Seng Tat is a promising young filmmaker from Malaysia. In the film a Nigerian migrant hides in an abandoned wooden house and a small Malaysian community believes the house is haunted by a strange ghost. The jury found the film’s approach “modern, subtle and engaged” and was particularly impressed by the story’s visual power. Through a simple but universal story that appeals to the imagination, this film subtly discusses the social issues of the multicultural society and the field of tension that exists between tradition, globalisation and migration. read more
