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.

Across cultures, tradition bars women from engaging in activities of a certain kind like, the plough, the fishing net or the potter's wheel. 'Beyond the Wheel' takes a look at three women in Indian pottery, across the rural-urban, modern-traditional divides, with reference to the taboo of the wheel. For the 'modern' artist, Shampa, the taboo of course does not exist. 'Traditional' artists Sara and Neelmani do not touch the wheel. The film looks at how the taboo is turned on its head as they find a creative route to its circumvention, in the process inventing their 'own wheel'.

In telling the story of a man and his contemplative walk along the river that divides Seoul, director Kim Kyung-Mook is using his setting of the Cheonggyecheon River;so notoriously polluted since the Japanese occupation but recently recovered enough to constitute a tourist attraction;to speak for South Korea's shifting and alternating identity between the old and the new Seoul. He centers his surrealistic comic drama on a transsexual who is just at the point of becoming a woman, and who one day gets out of his house feeling that someone is observing him. While wandering in the streets, he meets a talking dog, after which he is chased by a mysterious man. Hiding in a shop, he is transformed into a woman. Thus transformed he anticipates love but his body reverts to that of a male. The male side of the protagonist perceives the city very differently from the female side, and man-woman and dog-that-talks walk the changing city together.

Dariush Mehrjui took the title of his 1973 film from a line by the medieval Persian mystic poet Hafiz: 'Because of the cycle of the universe, my heart is bleeding.' This bleeding is both literal and figurative: A rural young man, Ali, and his ailing father become a part of in the corrupt and unsanitary 'free market' blood industry when they come to Tehran's main hospital to seek a cure for the father. The young man becomes involved with a worldly and tolerant nurse (played by a sex symbol and movie star of the Pahlavi era, Fourouzan), and survives by becoming part of the black market working out of the hospital. Mehrjui said that he wanted to show 'a human society of vultures, dedicating themselves eagerly to engulfing the lives of others.' The screenplay was written by Mehrjui's frequent collaborator, Ghoran Hossein Sai'edi, a doctor who ran a free clinic who was later imprisoned and tortured under the Shah's regime. Though the Government Ministry of Culture funded the film, it was not immediately released in Iran due to the medical establishment's objections. It was awarded the International Critics' prize in Berlin and the Antenne 2 Grand Prize in Paris. It was finally shown in 1977 in Iran, and was instrumental in the foundation of the Blood Transfusion Organization of Iran. It was not seen in the U.S. until the day after the Islamic Revolution took control of the country. Mehrjui was a favorite filmmaker of the Ayatollah, but he struggled with the religious government's strictures. Awards/Festivals: FIPRESCI Prize Cinema of New Forum & OCIC Award Cinema of New Form Berlin International Film Festival 1978; Toronto International Film Festival 1978; Chicago International Film Festival 1978.
