The British Council is presenting A Distinct Order, an online film and dialogue series featuring Malaysian and British video works, which will be available for (free) viewing on Dec 11 and 12.

A Distinct Order, curated by Malaysian art researcher Roopesh Sitharan, is put together to spark dialogue, and explore the existence of “difference” in the expression of “order”.
