We’re not just covering Urbanscapes 2016, we’re jumping right in!
R.AGE will be showing The Curse of Serawan, an award-winning original documentary about a mysterious illness plaguing orang asli children in the jungles of Perak.

At any time from 12 APRIL until 6 MAY, R.AGE will be posting up questions on our Facebook and YouTube accounts. The first to answer correctly will get a pair of tickets.
It’s as easy (and hard) as that!
Our series The Last Survivors has been gaining so much attention (thanks guys!) that we have been invited to screen them during the Urbanscapes fest!
In conjunction with the screening, we’d thought we’d be nice and give out some tickets to you – our readers – who have been such fantastic supporters!
So now we’re handing out THREE more pairs of Hotel Takeover passes (each worth RM1,000!) to three lucky readers.
All you have to do is find a WWII survivor and film him or her telling you the most interesting story they can recall. You can keep it simple and even film on your phone! Just remember to keep it under 10 minutes.
Post your video on Facebook (make sure it is set to public), tag R.AGE, and you’ll stand a chance to party with us at Hotel Takeover. With a DJ set by Rudimental, secret rooms and a ton of fun, this invite-only sleepover party is going to be off the hook!
The THREE best videos get a pair of Hotel Takeover passes each, so hit that record button and let’s go!
