Ggesek(Matchstick)
2025 RAI FF
What can we learn from spaces of futures past? Derived from the Kelate word “Ggésék” for matchstick, this film is a portrait of human-machine relationships in the twilight of Malaysia’s last match factory. A space that was once bustling with over 1000 workers, is now manned by 26 with a single match dipping machine; reconfiguring space and relationships on the factory floor. We invite you to sit and contemplate with us amidst the immersive clattering engines and quiet moments of prayer.
