Azharr Rudin
In 2012 the School of Arts and Social Sciences appointed Azharr Rudin as Filmmaker-in-Residence, a key figure in the Malaysian independent film scene and director of the feature film Punggok Rindukan Bulan (2008). Azharr served as mentor to students interested in making their own short films and organised a number of additional film-related extracurricular activities. These included filmmaking workshops and the Origins omnibus film project, for which students developed and produced short films under his guidance.

The school’s inaugural Filmmaker-in-Residence was Fikri Jermadi, an award winning filmmaker and former SASS student. During his time as Filmmaker-in-Residence he conducted workshops, curated the Nasi Bungkus Cinema film screenings and oversaw the production of the Monash Anthology, a collection of short films made by Monash students.
