Excerpt from website -
The mission of STOP MOTION PROJECT is to empower and support organisations and individuals in and through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to build strategic communities and initiatives for the purpose of ending violence against women (VAW).
The three-part video campaign STOP MOTION PROJECT – When does the violence begin? aims to encourage discussion and promote awareness on violence against women through creative storytelling and the use of stop-motion animation.
Running by the tagline, “When does the violence begin?”, STOP MOTION PROJECT aims to highlight the different forms of VAW happening in the current realities of Malaysian women and enable society to identify situations which are considered violence against women – whether as the afflicted, the potential violator, and/or a bystander.

- SANGKAR by Sharifah Amani
Background:
SANGKAR is a product of the HerStory Malaysia Film Project 2010 which was a campaign that involved collecting stories about love, sex, and desire from Malaysian women, with an emphasis on diversity and personal experiences of falling in – and out – of love in a distinctly Malaysian context. The campaign produced 5 films and SANGKAR is one of them.
. Synopsis:
SANGKAR tells the story of a young girl, played by Sharifah herself, who falls in love with a schoolmate and eventually makes the ultimate sacrifice to marry into his family. It is a simple tale of things unspoken, but in Sharifah’s hands the film is given a clever narrative that twists the past and the present together to culminate in an almost shocking climax.
. Director’sProfile:
Sharifah Amani is an award-winning actress best known for playing the title role in Yasmin Ahmad's Orked trilogy (Sepet, Gubra and Mukhsin). Other film credits include Muallaf, Cinta, Gol & Gincu, Puaka Tebing Biru, Selamat Pagi Cinta, Sayang You Can Dance, CicakMan 2, Magika, and Papadom. Apart from playing Ophelia on stage, in a local Malay-language production of Hmalet, she has also appeared in TV shows Gol & Gincu, Sindarela, Emil Emilda, Antara Garisan, and Rona Roni Makaroni. Sharifah also has backstage credits to her name, both as 3rd Assistant Director (Talentime) and as Assistant Stunt Director (Merong Mahawangsa). Going forward, she harbours hopes of directing her own film, doing stand-up, and launching a clothing line.
