KUALA LUMPUR: What started out as a small environmental film competition has become one of the most prominent festivals in the region.
The 7th Annual Kuala Lumpur Eco Film Festival (KLEFF), organised by environmental non-governmental organisation EcoKnights, will run October 17 to 19 at Publika mall boasting the biggest film line-up to date.
“We seek to enlighten and educate Malaysians on the environmental issues that affect them and their daily lives,” said EcoKnights founder Yasmin Rasyid.
“That is why we chose film, it is just more palatable and way more entertaining than reading a book,” she said.
Yasmin said that the film submissions a few years back were quite localised, but it has now gone international with the number of entries increasing every year.
“This year’s festival will be the biggest in terms of the number of films we’re screening. We’ll be screening 75 films from 24 countries, including 15 from Malaysia,” said Yasmin.
“I hope that Malaysians will watch the great line-up of films we have prepared this year,” she said.
