When Yasmin Ahmad died in 2009 aged 51 she left a rich legacy in the form a series of feature films that explored life in a multi-ethnic Malaysia.
Following a successful career directing commercials for some of Malaysia’s largest companies, such as Petronas, Ahmad came to international attention in 2004 with her debut feature Sepet. Following the success of this film she would continue to explore a range of social issues facing Malaysian society in a series of acutely observed and gently challenging tales.
As part of HOME’s year-long celebration of women in global cinema we present a small selection of her work.
