"I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes; nor would I be content with converting my tears, invited by my agonized self, into calm. It is my fervent hope that my whole life on this earth will ever be tears and laughter."
- Kahlil Gibran

8. Freedom Film Festival: Malaysia
“The KOMAS Freedom Film Festival (FFF) is the first annual documentary film festival in Malaysia. Established in 2003, it adopts the themes encompassed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), pioneering a documentary film competition method in Malaysia which encourages first-time film makers to turn their winning proposals into films.
FFF strives to bring socially relevant films and documentaries to the Malaysian public; we believe that the protection of our rights is the foundation for genuine justice, peace, equality and democracy.”
Malaysia is definitely one of my favorite countries to visit…and these videos are really provide a glimpse into the complexities of Malaysian culture & identity.
So today, go out & film something!
