Freedom Film Fest 2016: Call for Entries
Deadline: 01 May 2016
Time of festival: 20 – 28 Aug 2016

From the open call:

FreedomFilmFestival (FFF) is Malaysia’s most established annual human rights film festival. We adopt the themes encompassed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We believe that the protection of basic human rights is the foundation for genuine justice, peace, equality and democracy.

The FreedomFilmFest 2016 theme “What Lies Beneath” reflects this international documentary film festival’s ongoing mission to cast the spotlight on underrepresented human rights and public interest issues through the powerful medium of film.

This year’s theme is a call for everyone to dig deeper into the many urgent issues that individuals, groups, society and humanity are facing today. It is also an invitation to filmmakers and activists to unearth stories that help us see beyond the surface to bring about more meaningful insight and the appropriate action.

FreedomFilmFest 2016 is now accepting submissions that reflect this year’s theme to be included in our line up. Films selected will also go through a special jury selection for nomination to be awarded.
