Birdboy (2026)
Set against the neon-lit streets of Kuala Lumpur, Birdboy follows Calvin, the youngest son in a traditional Chinese family, as he struggles to conceal his sexuality while searching for connection in a city suspended between religious conservatism and modern desire. There, he meets Jerry, a Vietnamese massage boy working illegally, and together the pair drift through the city’s shadows dreaming of futures that always feel just out of reach.
Director: Hu Tianpei
