2 US fests in May
Lelaki Komunis Terakhir will screen in freedom's land and bravery's home in two cities in May. The Seattle International Film Festival is the largest festival in the US (it runs for 3 weeks whereas others would typically run for 10 days). I think it's the first Malaysian work to screen there.
The SIFF has an entry fee but the programmer saw it in Berlin and thus invited it for free. Thou shalt never pay to enter festivals.
It will also screen in the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. This isn't a big festival at all; in fact, it's downright cosy. Many Asian-Americans will gather there to natter about "diversity" and "empowerment." Since it's in the City of Quartz they will also ask questions like "Do you have an agent yet?"
I will be going to LA (straight from Toronto) but the Seattle screenings will be unrepresented.
The last time I had an American screening, I had questions like "What's a durian?" But everyone had such nice teeth.
* Synopses and ticket details should be on the festival websites by early May.

Hi congrats. I wonder how can I get to watch this movie in M'sia? Is it already on general release and will I be able to catch it sometime early-mid april?
About the spam, you need to activate word verification. Hope that helps.
The plan is still on to release in Malaysia in May. Should know the exact date by next week.
Yes I shall check out this word verification thing, thank you banget.
Better do it as soon as soon as possible. You won't want to have every single one of your entries covered with spam.
It has now been done!
