Dato' Kamil Othman is the Director General of National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS). Under his auspices, FINAS is currently undergoing transformation to achieve its objectives, to put Malaysian cinema on a global pedestal. Dato' Kamil keenly acknowledges that this transformation is no easy task which involves business reengineering on a scale never attempted before in Malaysia.
He says: "This is about gaining relevancy not only as the champion for local films and film makers but to address new ways of production, distribution and delivery brought about by the digital revolution. We also have to look inwards and do soul searching on the type of stories we want to share with the world and how the funding and distribution support should be structured. Co-productions are very large blips on our radar screens as part of this process. The learning curve will be formidable seeing how we have been focusing on the domestic markets primarily over the last two or three decades. However the passion to see this as an economic engine drives us along towards globalisation." more on Malaysia in tomorrow's edition.
