Critics’ Week!!! My small Tamil film, கத்து! / Bleat!, is going to Cannes! To be able to finally show off the beauty of my people and culture on the biggest stage of the cinema world is such an honour. Feels crazy and surreal thinking about bringing my mother tongue to the spotlight. My biggest love to the real G.O.A.T’s whom you will meet in this vlog and the rest of the cast and crew who have been a part of this journey and have helped bring this vision to life. ‘கத்து!’ World Premiere @ Critics’ Week @semaine_de_la_critique by @ananthsubra

An underrated aspect of Cannes: the hot dogs. Malaysian filmmaker Ananth Subramaniam (@ananthsubra) takes @esquiremalaysia inside Cannes Film Festival, for the premiere of his new short film, ‘Holy Crowd’. Last year, Subramaniam left with a @queerpalm win for ‘BLEAT!’. This year, he returned to @festivaldecannes with another short film in the La Semaine de la Critique section, collaborating with Indonesian director Reza Fahriyansyah (@reza_fahri). Swipe through for a look behind the scenes of the world’s most high-profile film festival.

Presenting short film ‘Bleat!’ for the next MAMI Independent screening on Wednesday, 13th May at PVR Lido, Juhu at 7pm! An elderly Malaysian-Tamil couple discovers their male goat, set for ceremonial slaughter, is pregnant. Torn between faith and the expectations of their community, they struggle to decide whether to slaughter it or face the wrath of the gods. ‘Bleat!’ became the first Malaysian short film featured in the Cannes Critics’ Week last year, where it won the Queer Palm for Best Short Film. Filmed in black-and-white, the short utilises satirical and sensory storytelling to examine the cultural rigidities of the Tamil-speaking community in Malaysia. Ananth Subramaniam is a Malaysian filmmaker of Tamil descent who co-founded Idio Sync Inc, a production house created to develop Tamil culture infused stories. Followed by the screening of animated feature ‘Schirkoa: In Lies We Trust’. Entry is free, and managed via queue on a first-come, first-served basis. To receive newsletters and updates on MAMI’s future screenings and events, join the MyMAMI Community via the link in our bio!
