The start of the 3-day festival saw Dr. Rani Padma, Imm. Past President of Soroptimist International giving a short opening address. Executive Director of KOMAS, Tan Jo Hann also facilitated the discussion sessions over 3-days.
KOMAS is also glad to see the number of FreedomFilmFest2009 followers getting bigger in JB! The FreedomFilmFest2009 would not be possible without the continuous support from our regulars and new followers. And especially to those who came in groups and sat down with us all day and night not missing a single discussion session that we had! And for that, we are grateful and glad that the democratic space we are opening up for people to watch relevant social documentaries and have discussions after is appreciated by others.
Filmmaker Choon Hiong also came down all the way from Singapore for the screening of his film All That You Can't Leave Behind. He shared his experience on how he got involved with activism and his experience in documenting his film.
