Freedom Film Fest 08'

FFF 08' Penang
26th - 28th Sept

Wawasan Open University

I was actually not really looking forward to be volunteering for the Penang FFF that was held in Penang recently. Entah, mainly because I'm malas kot...this is my well known sickness =p But as the days drew closer on the events, I recalled the FFF I attended back in 2 years ago. I remembered feeling inspired after watching a few screenings. And also sedih plus geram at the same time. Inspired by the movie makers for berani bersuara for our rights, tru the making of movies...showing the real 'issue' that is happening in Malaysia, and 'issues' that affecting us Malaysians. Sedih and geram at how we ditipu, dianggap bodoh, ditindas, diambil kesempatan, not getting equal rights...especially to those under privillage. MALAYSIA BOLEH!! Piiiiraaaahh..!! Anyway, I finally decided to go help and volunteer because...well, I terfikir if I want to help to make a difference in our Bolehland, the least I can do is to be part of this and give my support. And of course, I was looking forward for the screenings..in which were free. Kalau pun mau dibayar, aku sanggup eh... So without 'cakap'ing banyak, I have uploaded some pictures taken during the film fest. Some I copy from KOMAS website..hehe. Oh ya, to know more about FFF or KOMAS..its one click away!

Jelutong MP, DAP Jeff Ooi was there
