KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Rosmarayu Mokhtar is thrilled that her efforts of bringing 38 Malaysian movies to the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival have received positive feedback.
In a news report today, Rosmarayu, who is the founder of film production house D'Ayu Pictures, was confident that the exposure and her participation at the international film festival which took place at the resort city of the French Riviera, could soon result in a positive impact to our local film industry.
"Throughout the whole week there, I had done my best to market the 38 movies brought and they had been welcomed by the delegations I met.
"For three days, the Malaysian delegation also had meetings with content distributors from the United States, China, and Europe to promote our films," she said.
Rosmarayu added that it was a bold move for the Malaysian delegation to do that although they had initially been "total strangers."
She also hoped to continue marketing more local films overseas in the future.
"As producers, we should aim to improve the quality of our films in the future, right from the content development to post-production stages."
Among the 38 movies she brought to the festival were 'Daddyku Gangster', 'Kutukan Ilmu Hitam (WARUGA)', 'Harum Malam', 'Jodoh Syaitan', 'Zaara', 'M4M4', 'Syif Malam', 'Magik', and 'Busut Bonang.'
