Upcoming Malaysian Film ‘Imaginur’ Selected For a Film Festival in New York

It was only in June that Yazeid Suhaimi’s short film SOEURS was premiered at the 26th Buncheon International Film Festival in South Korea. This week, Malaysian cinema received another piece of good news.

Highly-respected film director Nik Amir Mustapha, famous for his film ‘KIL’, returns with a new sci-fi-looking film Imaginur.

Starring Malaysia’s finest Beto Kusyairiy and Diana Danielle, there’s very little information on the genre or synopsis of this film. However, knowing Nik Amir’s track record for fresh ideas and cohesive storylines, fans are excited for the release of the movie, especially after Beto’s impressive performance in Mat Kilau.

Adding to the excitement, Imaginur was recently nominated for the New York Asian Film Festival 2022 in the Uncaged Award For Best Feature Film category.

In 2013, Nik Amir Mustapha’s KIL left a long-lasting impact in the Malaysian film industry, pushing fellow filmmakers to push the boundaries of storytelling. Hopefully Imaginur will bring the same or even better effect when it comes out.
