Your browser does not support the audio element.
The Madani Generation Catalyst Fund, managed by Finas, has been producing compelling telemovies, documentaries, and short films created by young Malaysians aged 18 to 30. Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil recently announced the RM5 million fund's launch to empower these youths in creating artistic content. Finas CEO Datuk Azmir Saifuddin Mutalib personally reviewed several works produced under the fund and praised the compelling nature of the stories, including a Merdeka-themed documentary and a short film about an autistic youth aspiring to become a muezzin, both of which were mentored by veteran actress Fauziah Ahmad Daud.
These projects, which will continue until the end of the year, will also feature open-air cinema screenings to engage with the public.
