The QUT International Film Festival is running from the 19-22nd March in order to celebrate Harmony Day (21st March) which celebrates cultural diversity in Australia as well as the efforts to end racial discrimination. In keeping with the spirit of Harmony Day, QUT MySA is proud to present one of Yasmin Ahmad's creation, Talentime!
--------------------------
-------------------------- A music teacher, who is herself a great performer, organises an inter-school talentime. Through the auditions, rehearsals and preparations leading up to the big day of the contest, the characters get embroiled in a world of heightened emotions - ambition, jealousy, romance, and heartbreak - all of which culminate in a day of great music and performances. Rating: TBA Runtime: 120 min Director: Yasmin Ahmad Writer: Yasmin Ahmad Stars: Mahesh Jug al Kishor, Pamela Chong and Kahoe Howard Hon -------------------------- |
So please do come! Invite all your friends!

As always, QUT MySA facebook will be providing all the changes/updates about this event (or any other events) so please do join the group!
EDIT: It seems like it will be a joint event for QUT's Singapore Students Association and Malaysian Students Association, therefore they will screen another movie on that day! The chosen movie is a Singaporean movie titled 'Keluar Baris'.
Keluar Baris (2008)
A boy returns to Singapore from his studies in Europe, two days before he is enlisted into the army. A sensitive depiction of an 18-year-old's struggle between national duties and personal liberty.
