The BMW Group is no stranger to the filmmaking scene. Globally, it has been a patron of the arts for over 80 years. From the 1935 German film, Die Katz’ im Sack, to the recent Marvel Studios production of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the premium automaker continues to find new ways to champion the creative industry worldwide.
On the ground in Malaysia, BMW Group Malaysia has been a strong supporter of the local arts and filmmaking scene.
