BEFF 2016’s ENVIRONMENTAL CINEMA will feature exclusive award-winning international and local films to be screened at Suria Sabah Shopping Mall over the festival weekend, on the 8th and 9th of October. ADMISSION IS FREE.
Films will be screened from 5:00pm to 10:00pm on Saturday, 8th October and from 1:30pm to 10:00pm on Sunday, 9th October.
An integral part of BEFF is the Suara Community Filmmaking Programme that brings together some 40 participants from various local communities around Sabah to learn how to harness the power of film to communicate their worldviews, opinions and stories. These community filmmakers, who range from beginner to intermediate levels of expertise, will have a chance to have their completed films screened during the festival on Sunday, 9th October at 6:45pm. All are welcome for the screening.
Film enthusiasts can also enjoy the Publika Fringe Screenings during which selected films will be showing at partner venues
