| Description | Southeast Asia ICH Video Documentary (Malaysia) The environment surrounding intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is changing rapidly in the face of waves of rapid urbanization and globalization. In the face of such changes, documenting actual scenes of ICH in video form presents one of the most effective ways of identifying trends in ongoing developments and raising the profile of ICH. However, achieving this requires robust support and coordinated efforts due to the relative inadequacy of the conditions for producing such documentary material in the Asia-Pacific region. The International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region under the auspices of UNESCO (ICHCAP) shines a light on the ICH of Asia-Pacific and introduces its value to the public through video projects depicting ICH. ICHCAP conducts joint projects with member states to portray real-life scenes of ICH alongside experts, communities, NGOs, and other stakeholders in various countries. As a result, it has produced fifty videos on the ICH of Central Asia through the phase-one joint project on Central Asia and an additional fifty videos through the phase-two video project on the ICH of Southeast Asia. These videos are being screened through broadcasting companies and at film festivals in each country, in addition to distribution via YouTube and other channels. Videos represent the most accurate method of capturing ICH as it exists in the real world, as well as being effective tools for communicating with the public. ICHCAP will endeavor to continue vividly documenting the scenes of ICH that are hidden across the Asia-Pacific region with the aim of raising the profile of ICH elements as treasures of humanity and introducing them to the public. This collection includes 10 ICH videos produced by Real Touch SDN Bhd in collaboration with ICHCAP. | ||

Kerchang: Traditional Game in Danger of Extinction
Kerchang is a traditional game of the indigenous people of Malaysia and a cultural heritage facing extinction. As a form of cultural expression, it carries significance beyond being a mere game, playing an important part in marriage customs. The shape of kerchang and its string signify a woman and a man, respectively. In a wedding, the bride’s father gives a kerchang to the groom, who must earn his right to marriage by solving the game’s ten stages. The way a man unpuzzles a kerchang reflects his ability to take care of his family. Kerchang is a symbol of the symbiotic relationship between traditional indigenous culture and nature
