Fridae

FreedomFilmFest (FFF) is turning 10 this year and we will be celebrating it with a multi-arts human rights festival, named the FREEDOM ARTS FEST (FAF) in Selangor.

Our theme for the festival is DEMOCRACY: Participate. Advocate. Change. Its an invitation to Malaysians to delve deeper and get active to ensure that democracy is truly enshrined in all aspects of our lives.
We will showcase more than 20 local and international human rights films as well as a range of arts and activism workshops and exhibitions throughout the two days. With a minimum donation, you will be able to get an invitation pass to watch any of the films and also register for the workshops or check out the arts exhibitions and NGO stalls for free.

Amongst the highlights this year is a special session just for Young Persons ages 10-15 years old where they will watch several short films that are specially curated for them as well as take part in an art expression activity.

Whilst the arts festival will take place only in Selangor, FreedomFilmFest2012 will be making its rounds to different cities in Malaysia bringing you our 3 new Malaysian documentaries produced by the winners of our FFF proposal competition earlier this year and many other award winning films.
