A closer look at the complicated relationship between cinema, access, and the people who keep films alive.
Published in Mandarin, WuBen Film Magazine is an annual publication documenting Malaysian cinema through interviews, personal observations, and critical reflections from the people who shape its landscape.
Issue No. 8 turns its attention to a subject that has long divided the film world: piracy. Across 17 articles and 136 full-colour pages, seven contributions examine the issue from the perspectives of filmmakers, film educators, and cinephiles. Rather than treating piracy as a simple question of right and wrong, the publication explores its impact on the film industry, its place in Malaysia's film history, and the tensions between protecting creative work and making cinema accessible.
The issue also features an exclusive interview with Thai filmmaker Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit, whose more nuanced perspective invites readers to reconsider the assumptions surrounding film piracy.
Why this copy belongs on your shelf
Cinema is more than what appears on screen; it is also shaped by the systems, communities, and circumstances that determine how films are made, distributed, and seen. This issue of WuBen offers a valuable local perspective on a global conversation, preserving voices and experiences that might otherwise go undocumented. For readers interested in Malaysian cinema, film culture, or the politics of access, it is a thoughtful addition to a collection that looks beyond the finished film to understand the world behind it.
