. Directors Sai Whira Linn Khant, Yu Par Mo Mo and Nay Chi Myat Noe Wint present a short about neglected youth and journeys and again highlight the depth of work that is being made in Southeast Asia at the moment. Jodilerks Dela Cruz, Employee of the Month changes the tone somewhat, as it is a comedic look at the life of a gas station attendant. It is Jodilerks’ last night on the job and she encounters a variety of bizarre events that try her patience. This is a well shot and interesting film, where the main character is presented with agency, heart and intrigue.

The final film in the Death and Killing in Southeast Asia programme is It’s Easier to Raise Cattle from director Amanda Nell Eu. Family and childhood could be seen as one of the underlying themes of this selection of short films. The movie follows two teenagers who form a friendship and discover more about each other as the film progresses. It is a highly personal short and an excellent conclusion to this fine selection of short films.
