Next New Wave is an initiative founded in 2015 to focus on nurturing young and emerging filmmakers in Malaysia.
A new generation of filmmakers are beginning to find their own way with new technology and platforms, exploring new ways of filmmaking. Next New Wave is determined to help cultivate in these emerging storytellers the spirit for experimentation and perspective.
One of our main goals is the emphasis on Southeast Asian collaboration - exposing young Malaysian filmmakers to films from the region and also bringing in established filmmakers from Southeast Asia to share their experiences.
