MOTHER BHUMI Selected for the Main Competition at the Tokyo International Film Festival!
Brought to life by a transnational team from Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Italy, directed by Chong Keat Aun, starring Fan Bingbing with Natalie Hsu, Bai Run-yin, and Pearlly Chua, Mother Bhumi will have its World Premiere at the 38th Tokyo International Film Festival, which kicks off on October 27, competing for the festival’s highest honor.
Filmed in Director Chong’s hometown of Kedah, Malaysia, the film draws on local legends. Out of rice-field disputes and rising unrest, a widowed Chinese-Siamese farmer and ritual healer transforms into “Mother Bhumi,” confronting colonial wounds rooted deep in the land.
