FFF at THE ANNEXE GALLERY
FreedomFilmFest2010 made it’s way back to The Annexe Gallery last weekend for the screening of the FFF2010 winning films in Kuala Lumpur!
Despite the heavy rain outside, the event started to a full house of audience who braved their way to watch the screening of the films.
The night started with an introduction by Maisarah Muhd Najib, FreedomFilmFest2010 coordinator who spoke briefly about the background of KOMAS, the organiser of this annual film festival as well as the history of FFF.
All of the three winning films screened – Pilih by Loo Que Lin; Hak Dinafikan by Abri Yok Chopil & Shafie bin Dris and Kisah Tauke Mancis & Minyak Tumpah by Sheridan Mahavera & Siti Nurbaiyah – was followed by a Q&A discussion whereby all of the filmmakers were present. Facilitated by Maisarah and Anna Har, Board of Director of KOMAS – the discussion sessions were fairly intense and had to be cut short due to lack of time.
FreedomFilmFest2010 would like to thank the host, THE ANNEXE GALLERY and all supporters of FreedomFilmFest who made the screenings a success throughout the year.

The main highlight of the two-day festival, which was the premier of the winning films in Penang was a hit among the Penangites. Over a hundred people thronged the heavy downpour outside the screening venue to catch the filmmakers live in action after the screening of their films.
