“Snow in Midsummer” by Keat Aun Chong is a deeply affecting film that delves into an underrepresented piece of history. Inspired by true events and literary sources, the film weaves a tragic narrative around the 1969 racial riots in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, also known as The 13 May Incident. The film plays at the intersection of art and history, serving as both an emotional journey and an unsettling social commentary, shedding light on an often underexplored and oftentimes misrepresented part of Malaysian history.
