BIOGRAPHY

Director | Siti Kamaluddin

Siti Kamaluddin (b. 1979, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei), acknowledged as one of the Sultanate’s 50 most influential women in 2014, is Brunei’s very first female director. She has directed three award-winning feature films, namely Yasmine (2014), Hari Minggu Yang Ke-Empat (2018), and Akademi (2020). Her directed films have been recognised in prestigious film festivals worldwide, including the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival and the Asia-Pacific Film Festival.

Passionate about democratising filmmaking in Brunei, Siti co-founded the country’s first arts school in 2018: the Mahakarya Institute of the Arts Asia (MIAA). The school aims to develop future content creators, as well as protect their skills and intellectual property, empowering them to contribute meaningfully to Bruneian society, its economy, and ASEAN through dialogue and constructive collaboration.
