Ghazi Alqudcy / Block 46

GHAZI ALQUDCY likes to tell stories through the medium of Digital Film. Currently a student at a local polytechnic and a recipient of the Goh Chok Tong Youth Promise Award Scholarship 2007, his work shows varies from narrative, experimental to documentaries. Running on a very thin line of the fence between sexuality and loss, he produces work such as campy queer dramas, fictionalized homicide activities, exquisiteness of prayers and many more.
He has been active within the filmmaking circle. A big fan of The Substation, he participates in many film events to keep himself occupied. In 2004, he realizes his passion for storytelling. In 2005, he was one of the selected filmmakers to go through ‘Take 5! Guerilla Filmmaking Challenge’ which is part of the ‘Soul to Soul Festival’. In 2006, he was one of the selected filmmakers for the MDA-Panasonic Digital Film Fiesta. In 2007, he co-directed a short film for the same event.
Ghazi Alqudcy makes a promise to himself to continue telling interesting stories. Apart from that, he loves to cook dinner with his friends and indulge in a slumber party.

Director’s Statement:
Block 46 is part of my personal project to understand the feeling of loss. We loss a lot of things in our daily live, be it to natural disaster, to other living forms or even to our own ego.

In this particular film, it starts from the study of each character, creating a character that is close to my heart and faces problem like many of us do and I start to see the each characters as a normal citizen. I try to get closer to each character to a comfortable level and take them away to feel the loss.
It is a process of knowing many things from others; how life and loss means to them.
