Malaysian Short ‘Bleat!’ Makes History at Cannes Critics’ Week
Malaysia's 'Bleat!' makes history as the country's first-ever short selected for Cannes Critics' Week, exploring Tamil cultural identity.
“Bleat!,” a co-production between Malaysia, the Philippines and France, tells the story of an elderly Malaysian-Tamil couple who discover their male goat, destined for ceremonial slaughter, is pregnant. Set within Malaysia’s Tamil minority community, the 15-minute comedy-drama-fantastic hybrid features Tharmasegaran Maniam, Pannerselvam Evarani, and Dhanesh Alagarsu, with “Big Boy” playing the goat at the center of the moral quandary. For Sixtymac Pictures, “Bleat!” continues a growing portfolio of acclaimed shorts, including “Liar Land” (Locarno Open Doors – special mention).
