Message from Programme Director

Hello friends. Although we are only in February, our team is gearing up to a full speed. This momentum is integral to justify the magnitude of the programs that we have planned for this year. Thus, we are now calling for partners and sponsors for our monumental 10th anniversary and do hope that you can help us spread the word out.

The Kuala Lumpur Eco Film Festival is Malaysia’s longest serving environmental platform encompassing film premieres, community events, industry and hospitality programs, VIP opportunities, and a wide range of performances and events.

This month, we have opened the application for workshop collaborators, and something new called “Act For The Community”. This is aligned with our mission for 2017 onwards, which is to mobilize action amongst the community.

With thousands of attendees annually and millions of media impressions, the Festival has become a destination for brands to achieve consumer marketing objectives that only a Kuala Lumpur based edutainment platform can offer. In 2017, the Festival will continue to find new ways to engage with audiences within Kuala Lumpur and around the globe. We look forward to engaging with our partners, new and returning for #KLEFF2017 #CallForAction

Yours Fabulously,
FABS
