Just got back from Pameran Filem Seram 2009 in FINAS @ Jalan Pahang Kechil, a very small road leading into FINAS. This exhibition displayed a few types of "ghosts" featured in some local horror movies like ‘Congkak’, ‘Tohyol’, ‘Orang Minyak’, ‘Hantu Jepun’, ‘Chermin’ and etc. It’s theme really attracted myself. Furthermore, it is FREE! These "ghosts" were hidden in all corners around the gallery.
In this gallery, there is an archive where all local movies are kept. Photos of actors and actresses are kept and displayed here as well. The two-storey building is like a hidden treasure of the local movie industry. You can find various types of tools, utensils and machines used in film production. A gallery of awards won by veteran actors in numerous film festivals locally and internationally was displayed too.
There is also a mini theatre, where we watched ‘Susuk’. A staff there was kind enough to start the film specially for us and drinks were given to us too! Thanks to him!… We had a memorable experience there!
