Based on the novel, Juara, by S. Othman Kelantan, Mamat, a Malaysian, works in Southern Thailand as a trainer in bullfighting (a jogho). In this small village, the winnings from the gambling during bull-fights, maintains the village economy. But when a village leader is killed during a bull-fight, Mamat has to uphold the village's honour by taking revenge. But a cycle of violence soon follows. U-Wei bin Haji Saari is the key Malaysian filmmaker preceding the rise of the Malaysian New Wave in 2000. His seminal work was his feature debut, Woman, Wife and Whore (1993).

A lovelorn young man, Berg, meets Andrew, who lets him share a rented room with him in Kuala Lumpur. Inspired by Pasolini's Theorem and Tsai Ming Liang, James Lee's third film is a series of insights into the lives of listless youth. From an aspiring filmmaker to the sleazy landlord, their lives intertwine in the strangest encounters. But it is not just the characters in the apartment who have stories; the house itself holds its own secret. Understated and sometimes bizarre, Room To Let is a depiction of heartbreak, loneliness and alienation that plagues the young Malaysians.

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.
