In 2004, FreedomFilmFest started its first ever Film Competition Awards!
Packing 358mins minutes of social conscious filmmaking over two days, the FreedomFilmFest celebrated a new genre of films exploring social realities. At the same time it unearthed new talents as well recognised the efforts of critically acclaimed
Malaysian filmmakers who are fast building a following outside of mainstream cinema. All in the name of unravelling our Bolehland!
