MALAYSIANS KINI Activist film-maker Norhayati Kaprawi is looking forward to marking her 50th birthday next year with a transition.

"I have been practising every day. Maybe next year I can release something.”

She flips out her phone to show Malaysiakini what she has been trying her hands on. Next stop on the Yati train? Visual animation.

Having shot, directed and produced five documentaries in the last six years, Yati is no stranger to the process of transition where scenes and shots are combined to form a story on the screen.
