Sabahan youths benefit from Kota Kinabalu International Film Festival: Liew

Liew also said the activities, especially the training programmes, helped to build the human resources for the burgeoning film industry in the State.“We expect to see movies during a film festival, but the KKIFF offers additional activities,” she said at the KKIFF Awards Night, here, Sunday.

“We hope that this is not the first and last time they come to our beautiful land but that their experiences here will encourage them to return,” she said. “There is a whole future for participants and mentors starting here at the KKIFF 2023, at this time and in this space of KK.” "It has given us the funds to hold the KKIFF, and it also gives us recognition, and that is important, although that is not why we volunteer to run the KKIFF every year.

“So, to have the support for the KKIFF this year from the Chief Minister and the other Ministries is significant for us. Sai Kong Kham from Myanmar won the winning pitch for the Sabah Pitching Training for “The Birdwatcher”, while Sheryl Rose Andes received the highly recommended award for “Bariles”.The night’s highlight was the presentation of the Golden Kinabalu Awards to the Go10 Filmmakers’ Competition winners in each category – Indigenous Language, Narrative and Documentary.
