"Sepet", which tells of a love story between a Malay girl and a Chinese boy, has nabbed various awards from both local and international film festivals. Among them are the Le Grand Prix du Jury at 27th Créteil International Women's Film Festival in France, the Best Asian Film Award at the 18th Tokyo International Film Festival, Best Film at the 2005 Global Chinese Golden Arts Awards and Best Film at the 18th Malaysia Film Festival. A stage adaptation of it, called "Sepet the Musical", was also released for a limited time free streaming on YouTube early last month. This proves just how in demand the movie is even after all of these years as it continues to inspire not only Malaysians but also audiences outside the country.
