After making its premiere at last year’s Singapore International Film Festival, Aw See Wee’s short film Kampung Tapir will be showcased at Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in France. This festival, taking place from Feb 2-10, is deemed as one of the biggest festivals for short films.

The 17-minute short, written and directed by Aw, will be shown daily during the screening period at the festival. According to the 31-year-old filmmaker, while he sent Kampung Tapir for submission to the prestigious festival he did not expect it to be selected.
