Short film shot at Niah National Park premiering this Father's Day
KUCHING: A short film shot entirely at Niah National Park is set to be released on Father's Day this Sunday (June 15). "Space Between" not only showcases Sarawak's natural beauty but also portrays the relationship between a father and his young daughter as they explore their heritage of harvesting birds' nests in the depths of the Niah Caves. Produced by 21 Ways Film, a Sarawakian production house, the film is believed to be the first to be shot on location at Niah National Park, a Unesco World Heritage Site. State Deputy Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Snowdan Lawan said initiatives like this reflected the growing creativity and confidence in Sarawak's film industry, as more filmmakers sought to tell stories rooted in the state's landscapes and traditions. "I would like to commend the team behind 21 Ways Film for their effort and commitment in producing this film. "Their work demonstrates the kind of homegrown storytelling that highlights Sarawak's unique identity, culture and talent," he said at the premiere screening of "Space Between" here on Monday. Snowdan said the film was supported by the ministry's tourism, heritage and creative industry facilitation fund, which was established to encourage growth across the creative, tourism and performing arts sectors. Looking ahead, he hoped that "Space Between" would be considered for submission to international film festivals. "This will be a way to further showcase Sarawak's unique stories and landscapes as well as the capabilities of our local creative talents. "Platforms like these offer opportunities for exposure, growth and connection with the wider world and we fully encourage our filmmakers to be bold in reaching beyond our borders," Snowdan said. Director Danish Busmah described "Space Between" as a deeply personal story about a father and daughter. "Behind the film lies something real, our collective desire as Sarawakians to tell stories that come from our heritage and lived experiences," he said. The 12-minute film features local actors Julai Billie as the father Jon and Darweesha Dasuki as his daughter Sara. It will be shown on TVS (Channel 122 on Astro, MYTV and Unifi TV) at 5.30pm on June 15.

AUBURN: Some 30 Sabahans from across the United States gathered here, recently, for the fifth annual North Borneo Sabahan Abroad Kaamatan Celebration, maintaining cultural traditions thousands of miles from home. It was hosted by Jo Monjuil-Frinak and Tim Frinak at their Auburn home and drew participants from Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida and Ohio. What began as a modest gathering five years ago has evolved into an annual homecoming for Sabahans living in the US.

Unlike formal cultural events, the Kaamatan Abroad celebration operates without any central committees or rigid protocols.

ASTRO Rapper JinJin Exempted From Military Service Due To Autoimmune Condition
In South Korea, men have to serve in the military when they become adults, as mandated by the government. K-pop idols are not exempt from this law, which often leads to a heartwarming goodbye to their fans and promises from the other party that they will always wait for their favourite stars. On the 2nd June (Monday), entertainment agency, Fantagio (판타지오), revealed that K-pop group ASTRO's (아스트로) leader JinJin (진진) has been excused from serving in the military. The rapper was exempted from military service because of health reasons involving an autoimmune condition. With ASTRO member Cha Eun Woo (차은우) releasing his enlistment dates last month (29th May), AROHAs (ASTRO fans) have been wondering when the 29-year-old leader would start serving his country. Speculation grew across fan communities, with many expressing support and curiosity about JinJin's plans. According to Fantagio's statement, JinJin had been going to medical checkups but was deemed by his doctor to be unfit for military service. The idol had been suffering from issues relating to a disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its healthy tissues and cells. While the condition isn't too severe, it requires the idol to have frequent visits to the hospital for examinations. While the singer himself hasn't made any updates on how he is doing, AROHAs shared well wishes on JinJin's Instagram to wish him good health. We also hope that JinJin would focus on his health following this recent diagnosis. Source: Soompi Zaima Humaria contributed to this article What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0
