Tiger Stripes coming to Cinematik IFF straght from Cannes
12. July 2024
The debut body horror film of director Amanda Nell Eu will be screened in the Cult and Beyond section. Zaffan, a teenage girl of 12, lives a carefree life of a teenage girl in a tradition-ridden village. Together with her best friends Farah and Mariam, they form an inseparable trio. They have fun making crazy TikTok videos, sticking stickers on everything in the neighborhood, and going swimming in the river after school. Zaffan is a rebel. She’s the first one of the girl gang to wear a bra, the first one to get her period. Everyone around her – teachers, classmates, and parents are shocked, disgusted, or indifferent. They turn their backs on her. Zaffan is growing up. Her mind and body are undergoing fundamental transformations. She begins to stick out her claws.
