Tan Chui Mui's YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER (Berkelana) press screening

I went to the press screening of Tan Chui Mui's sophomore feature YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER last night, which was held outdoors at the fields of Sri Petaling school.



Guests at the press conference were (aside from Mui the director): James Lee the executive producer, Liew Seng Tat the producer, Azman Hassan the Actor, Azmyl Yunor the composer and
Pete Teo who served as sound designer, etc.

Azmyl Yunor performed a song prior to the screening.

Asst director Fei Ling (bottom left) was busy as usual.

The film then started screening. It was an interesting experience, to have an outdoor screening. Reminded me of the closing screenings at the Pusan (now Busan) International Film Festivals.

Speaking of Busan, that's where I first saw YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER. I personally liked it more than Mui's debut film LOVE CONQUERS ALL (more than 4 years ago, before I became an actual filmmaker and was writing film reviews for this blog, I wrote something about LOVE CONQUERS ALL here), especially the cinematography from the first half was quite nice.
