U-Wei Bin Haji Saari based "The Arsonist" (1995) on William Faulkner's short story "Barn Burning," transposing it from the Deep South to Malaysia. The filmmaker stays true to its core, but depicts the position of a Javanese man who has married a Malaysian woman, and is continually in a state of rebellion. His family is isolated from the community, and their life is continually disrupted. They are often reduced to camping out in the open with their goats. His middle son admires his courage, but asks himself if his honor demands him to stop his father from ruining himself and their family. The movie premiered at the Singapore International Film Festival, and went on to be the most honored Malaysian film in history, selected in Cannes, and winning the Grand Prize (Best International Film) at the Brussels Film Festival. Other Festivals: Nominated Silver Lion Best Short Film Venice Film Festival 2004; Los Angeles International Short Film Festival 2004.

This film depicts the journey of a Mexican, Roberto, resident in China. On his way to renew his visa, Roberto meets an African at a railway station between China and Hong Kong. “Why is an African in China?” soon changes into a reflexive inquiry: “Why is a Mexican in China?” Roberto explores the African residents’ community in China and finds many new friends. The film is thus multi- and trans-national, with a Korean director filming the process as a Mexican resident in China explores its African community. Drifting City is full of non-spatial images like railroad platforms, shopping malls, markets, urban buildings that keep floating among inter-spaces. Meanwhile, Roberto’s first-person narration about his own experiences intersect with his image as he leads the camera around as if he were a local guide. With Roberto, guiding foreigners among tourists and natives, the film is autobiographical and essay-like, but also looks and feels expository in its crossing and merging views of first- and third-person, living or floating in the inter-spaces.

Before We Fall In Love Again is the first part in James Lee's Love Trilogy, inspired by Harold Pinter's Betrayal, the second being Things We Do When We Fall In Love. Two men bond while trying to figure out, under unusual circumstances, what has happened to the woman they love. It has been a month since Chang's wife Ling Yue went missing. With no reason, one fine day she left for work as usual and then never returned. No one knows where she went or what has happened to her. Chang cannot figure out why she disappears out of the blue, leaving no message of any kind or even clues. He decides to travel to Prague, knowing it to be his wife's dream destination. The night before he leaves, his friend Tong shows up and claims to be Ling Yue's lover and looking for Ling Yue, too. In this unexpected turn of events both men form an uneasy alliance in order to find Ling Yue. Set in a familiar present-day urban environment but with a dark existentialist undertone, the journey of the two men will be memorable. However, what lies ahead might not be what they want. Awards/Festivals: Best Asian Film at the 2007 Bangkok International Film Festival; 11th Pusan International Film Festival; 19th Tokyo International Film Festival; 6th Marrakech International Film Festival.
