Now in its fourth year, the Southeast Asian Wednesday Night Movie continues to build a loyal following of regular film attendees from both the university and local communities.

The series has showcased, often for the first time in Hawaii, more than seventy-five subtitled films which span the diverse and dynamic landscape of cinema in Southeast Asia.

Join us this Wednesday for a screening of...

MASKOT
Directed by Robin Moran
Indonesia, 2006, 118 minutes, Indonesian with English Subtitles

Robin Moran's comedy proudly takes its template from Hollywood, celebrating its old-fashioned sensibility. A klutzy engineering student, Dennis (Ariyo Wahab), is the heir to a successful soy sauce factory started by his grandfather. Everyone believes that the company's success is owed to its magical mascot, a rooster. When the fowl dies, Dennis must find another. Of course, the movie comes complete with a sneaky villain (Butet Kartaredjasa), a pretty girl (Uli Auliani) and a jealous rival (Epy Kusnandar). A favorite at the Bangkok and Cinequest International Film Festivals!
