Retrospective: Mat Sentol is a special showcase of films spotlighting the legendary comic of classic Malay cinema, Mat Sentol (original name Abdul Rasip Yahya). His multi-faceted career as an actor, director, illustrator, production designer, scriptwriter, singer/songwriter and special effects artist, spanned four decades with over 30 feature films. Audiences of all ages are invited to witness the magic of a Malay film icon through a selection of 12 newly subtitled films, including three freshly restored works by the Asian Film Archive (AFA). The films in this retrospective are part of the Cathay-Keris Malay Classics Collection that have been preserved by the AFA since 2007.

Retrospective: Mat Sentol will feature twelve feature films and will run from 13 May – 5 June 2022 at Oldham Theatre, National Archives of Singapore Building.
