With global screening locations in USA, New Zealand, UAE, and South East Asia for the very first time this year, Whiteboard Journal had the chance to be invited to Penang, Malaysia where this prestigious event was hosted.

There was also 'Black Carpet' to greet and interview the evening's distinguished participants. The screening of the 12 finalist films started right around dusk, not long after all the bands finished performing. With contenders from Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Cambodia, the film's main theme 'Rice' is explored in various constructive ways. Among few standout shorts were Chicken, The Strange Detective, We Need to Break Up, all from Malaysia, and Moth in Twilight from Philippines. Screened to over 4000 audience and judged live by Adam Elliot, Robert Luketic, Glen Goei, Malaysian actress Sharifah Amani, and the director of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, Roger Garcia, the grand prize was awarded to Sothea Ines, a Cambodian filmmaker with her black and white, silent film on the 'Golden Harvest' period during Khmer Rouge occupation.
