The International Kuala Lumpur Eco Film Festival (KLEFF) is Malaysia’s homegrown environmental film festival for the past 12 years. Conceptualised and organised by a not-for-profit environmental organisation, EcoKnights, the Festival is a platform to facilitate the building of a nation of ecologically conscious businesses, individuals, and communities through on-ground activities and film screenings focused on critical environmental issues and stories such as pollution, transboundary haze, indigenous people’s rights, wildlife protection, nuclear energy, climate change, sustainable food production, waste management, local environmental heroes and more.
Returning from 2019 with a stronger theme on climate change – ‘Climate (in)Justice’, KLEFF seeks for thought-provoking films that inspire and empower people not only in climate change but also on a myriad of worldwide environmental topics.
‘Climate (in)Justice’ is an interdisciplinary theme that consists of the environment, ecology and sustainable development in a comprehensive sense, therefore we encourage films to cover climate change and environmental topics, but can certainly overlap with social, economic, spiritual, or other themes. The festival committee will be curating a selection of films of different genres with strong audience appeal - Documentaries, narratives, shorts, children’s films, experimental films, animations and public service announcement.
