Rebellious… who me?
AFT Podcasts present the Listen by Heart Podcast, where we feature Stories from Women of the South China Sea. Presenter Jasmine Low speaks with Amanda Nell Eu, a Malaysian film director and scriptwriter known for her recent body horror film Tiger Stripes – set in a Malaysian jungle in which a girl experiences a strange metamorphosis as she comes of age. The film won the Critics’ Week Grand Prize (Semaine de la Critique Cannes) when it was shown at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival in France in May 2023, and it was then selected as the Malaysian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards. Amanda runs Ghost Grrl Pictures with a cofounder.
Amanda is known for an earlier film about two teenagers and a female vampire who solely attacks men, an urban legend tale in Malaysia and Indonesia – titled, “Lagi Senang Jaga Sekandang Lembu” or in English, “It’s Easier to Raise Cattle” was featured at the Clermont Ferrand International Short Film Festival in 2018.
