Launch of FreedomFilmFest2009!
When most people will be fretting on getting last minute Valentine’s gifts last Saturday, the KOMAS team was busy setting up the Annexe, Central Market for it’s annual FreedomFilmFest 2009 (FFF09) launch.
This year’s launch, although without much fanfare, carried a very pertinent theme – ‘Real Change?’ The logo based on this year’s theme highlighted the reawakening of the people’s power ever since the March 8 general elections last year. Hence, a cartoon sketch of an empowered ordinary citizen was seen emerging from a cocoon with a video camera on hand!
