Persembahan sinematik atau filem boleh dikupas secara ilmiah dari berbagai sudut ilmu. Filem sebagai sebuah representasi umumnya dibincangkan secara terhad mewakili sesuatu wilayah sosiopolitik tertentu. Oleh itu, penulisan ini membincangkan idea Sinema Nasional bagi sinema Malaysia yang dikesan sebagai sesuatu yang bermasalah kerana hanya ditumpukan pada satu-satu filem atau terhad kepada ketetapan ciri nasional yang sempit. Dengan latar sedemikian, kajian ini mempermasalahkan dan mempersoalkan konsep Sinema Nasional Malaysia dengan hujahan, aspek-aspek sosiobudaya dan politik Malaysia sebagai satu wilayah bertindih dengan institusi budaya serantau melalui pengalaman merantau. Bagi penulisan ini, Malaysia dijejaki secara longue durée kerana estetika sinematik bukan sahaja menganjurkan kaitan kebudayaan serantau, malah tidak berpegang pada sesuatu yang spesifik kerana ianya bereaksi kepada keadaan sosio-politik semasa. Artikel ini mengambil pendekatan diskusi (discourse) dan pasang surut budaya dengan sokongan analisis tekstual dalam membincangkan perubahan interpretasi ruang budaya dari tiga fasa berbeza yang dibahagikan kepada era hitam-putih (1950s-1960s), era independen (1970s-1990s), dan era digital (2000an hingga kini). Filem-filem yang dipilih akan dikupas dengan kaitan isu-isu ini. Berdasarkan analisa filem-filem ini, penulisan ini mencadangkan idea sinema nasional Malaysia harus menerima idea yang sinema nasional tidak homogeny, tetapi, ianya kompleks dan cair kerana idea sinema nasional untuk sebuah negara seperti Malaysia sentiasa berubah bergantung kepada iklim politik yang sering diperbaharui oleh warganya.
This paper explores the identity of Malay-Muslim women based on the religious foundation of Islam, feminism and gender in contemporary Malaysian cinema. The number of films produced in the contemporary era between the year of 2000 to the present have portrayed Muslim women characters of fervent spirit and intelligence, possess good values, authoritative, mentally resilient, and independent. Socio-cultural and political changes in Malaysia have encouraged major improvement towards Malay-Muslim women as representational subjects in contemporary Malaysian films. The Malaysian film industry has witnessed an increasing number of films with Islamic content especially towards the end of 1990s. The trend has become popular among Malaysian producers and been well received by the local audience. This scenario indicates a significant relationship between Muslim women and the Islamic related-issue, making it a substantial subject to be examined not only in a social-political context, but also in the cinema studies context. This paper will critically explore the representation of Malay-Muslim women in contemporary Malaysian cinema. The discussion will also consider how their representation intertwined with the religion and customs aspects which subsequently influence a trend in the representation of Malay-Muslim women in contemporary Malaysian cinema.
