The annual KOMAS FreedomFilmFest (FFF2008) is back. Now in its fifth year, this year's theme: "Democratic Space - Making Room for Human Rights" is definitely apt given our turbulent post March 8 political scenario. FFF has always been an avenue for local social activists to express their thoughts and concerns on (lack of) human rights issues and other social concerns afflicting Malaysia, so expect a very thought provoking atmosphere; and be prepared to be challenged.  It may even change the way you think, for better or for worse, but that's your freedom of choice.

Watch over 20 films from all over the world, and also do not miss the chance to mingle and ask questions from some of the participating filmmakers such as Singaporean Seelan Palay, Indonesian Ariani Darmawan, and Malaysian Chi Too.

FFF2008 will be held at the following venues:

Kuala Lumpur - Central Market Annexe: 5 - 7 September
Johor Bahru - Tropical Inn: 12 - 14 September
Kuching - Old Court House: 19 - 21 September
Penang - Wawasan Open University: 26 - 28 September

FFF2008 is open to the public and entrance is free, but as seats are limited, you are advised to make a reservation in advance. This can be done by email. Please put the location you wish to make a reservation for in the subject line, e.g. for KL reservations, type "KL". For more information, go to KOMAS website or call 03 7968 5415.

Come and support FFF2008. Help restore our democracy. As the organisers themselves says: We dared you to document. Do you dare to watch?
