Who is Yasmin Ahmad? 🎥
Yasmin binti Ahmad (7 January 1958 – 25 July 2009) was a Malaysian film director, writer and scriptwriter. She was the executive creative director at Leo Burnett Kuala Lumpur. Her television commercials and films are well known in Malaysia for being humorous and touching. Her work crossed cross-cultural barriers, particularly her ads for Petronas, the national oil and gas company. Her works have won multiple awards both within Malaysia and internationally. She was a central figure of the "first" New Wave of Malaysian cinema.
Yasmin was born in Kampung Bukit Treh in Muar, Johor, on 7 January 1958. A graduate in arts majoring in politics and psychology from Newcastle University in England, she worked as a trainee banker in 1982 for two weeks and then worked for IBM as a marketing representative. Meanwhile, she moonlighted as a blues singer and pianist by night.
Her other well-known film is Mukhsin (2007), also a multi-award-winning title.
Looking forward to seeing you at this very special screening.
