Back for its sixth edition, the annual KOMAS Freedom Film Festival will be screening yet another harvest of local and international documentary feature and short films dealing with the topic of human rights, social and environmental justice. Held in four cities this year – KL, Penang, Kuching and Johor Bharu – FFF adopts the themes encompassed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which express our aspirations for genuine justice, peace, equality and democracy. Most of the screenings will include Q&A sessions with the filmmakers.

Among the highlights of this year’s FFF includes the premiere of the three winning documentaries of FFF2009’s Justin Louis Award. This year the winners are “Al-Fatehah Memali” by Rahmat Haron, “No Silver Lining: The Perak Crisis” by The S-ploited, and “Kayuh” by Soh Sook Hwa. The winners have been selected by panel of judges Dato’ Ambiga Sreenevasan, Haris Ibrahim, Fiona Lawson-Baker and Anna Har.
