FFF2009 in PENANG!

The Penang leg of FreedomFilmFest2009 was held at Han Chiang College over three days last week. Groups of locals be it FFF regulars and new fans dropped by throughout the day to watch the films we had to offer as well as participate in our discussions after.



On Saturday night, all three winners of the Justin Louis Award for FreedomFilmFest2009 also made an appearance for the premier of their films in Penang! These includes the winner of the Most Outstanding Human Rights Documentary Award Soh Sook Hwa and most of the JERIT team who are based in Penang. Senator Muhamad Yusof Husin also made a special appearance for the premier of the film Memali in Penang.

Each of the winners together with their guests had a Q&A and a sharing session with the audiences after the screening of their respective films. This is when unanswered questions in the documentaries are probed and more background stories are given personally to the audiences!



The KOMAS team would like to thank everyone who came for FreedomFilmFest2009 as well as to those who supported us from afar!

Stay tune next week for updates from KUCHING at KINGWOOD INN!
