Southeast Asia Cinema - When the Rooster Crows

2015, 90 minutes

A discovery of South East Asian cinema as told by the regionĀ“s most acclaimed directors.

"Southeast Asia Cinema - When the Rooster Crows" is a voice of diversity reaching for change. Brillante Mendoza, Eric Khoo, Garin Nugroho, Pen Ek Ratanaruang give voice to a region rich with traditions, ethnic groups, languages, politics, and religions. It is cinema, at its purest form, fighting for the freedom of expression, documenting real lives of ordinary people, giving voice to the underdogs and the outcasts. The amalgamation of these aspects gives birth to an ultra-neo-realistic cinema language currently unique to films from this region.
