By Lim Chang Moh

17 Aug It's ?ll systems go' for local indie movie "S'kali" at the Cathay Cineleisure in Damansara Mutiara, Petaling Jaya, on September 14.

The movie, produced by Perantauan Enterprise on HDV (high definition video) format, had its ?est screening' at Cathay Cineleisure last Monday -- and its writer-director, Arivind Abraham, said he is ?otally happy' with the test.

"We were testing for colour balance and sound reproduction and these turned out all right," he told Cinema Online today. Arivind said he is grateful to Cathay Cineplexes Sdn Bhd for bringing down technicians from Singapore to set up the HDV or ?-format' test screening. "S'kali" is the first movie to be shown on this particular format at the Cathay Cineleisure multiplex at Damansara Mutiara.

S'kali's associate producer Bahir Yeusof said the movie is a tale of love and friendship involving a group of school friends as they branch out to pursue their further studies and career.

"This is arguably the first movie ?ade by youngsters about youngsters' as all the cast and crew are in their 20s," he said. "There are also some surprise cameos by some of the top names in local show business."

The movie was shot in the Klang Valley and Port Dickson last January and was edited in Britain. "S'kali" stars Jayaram Nagaraj, Davina Goh, Angeline Rose, Derek Ong and Zimy Rozan.

Steamy Kissing Scene In "S'kali" Censored


By Lim Chang Moh


11 Sept - More than 20 seconds of a steamy kissing sequence in the local Indie movie "S'kali" were cut by Malaysian Censors.

This was revealed to Cinema Online by the movie's writer-director Arivind Abraham during the premiere of "S'kali" at Cathay Cineleisure in Mutiara Damansara last Friday (8 Sept).

"The Censorship Board officials were very nice about it," said Abraham, 23. "They explained to me the guidelines and the reason for the cuts and I accepted them. I now realize that there are many other ways to put our romantic messages across without getting foul of the guidelines."

It is learnt that the kissing sequences involved a pair of young lovers who are going to be separated to pursue their studies abroad. "S'kali" was shot in the Klang Valley and Port Dickson last January. It also features cameo appearances by a well-known music industry stalwart as well as a famous local movie director.

Last Friday's movie premiere, at a special 'digital' hall of the multiplex, was attended by the media, the cast and crew and their guests.

The title "S'kali" is derived from the mamak stall culture of today's youth, meaning 'Bayar sekali' or 'Pay for all'. The story is about five close friends on the verge of separation, with each going for further studies. The themes involve inter-racial love, friendship, the struggles to have their work recognized and the sorrow of parting. Its main cast consists of Zimy Rozan, Davina Goh, Jayaram Nagaraj, Derek Ong and Angeline Rose.

The script was written by Abraham from his own experiences. He also serves as associate producer of the movie, together with his school mates Keith Leong, Jason Lim Tsu Yang, Samantha Tan and Bahir Yeusuff. "S'kali" is produced by Perantauan Enterprise and Asa'ad Entertainment Network Sdn Bhd.

"S'kali" opens exclusively at Cathay Cineleisure Damansara on 14 September 2006
