The Borneo Eco Film Festival is an annual event celebrating Borneo's biocultural diversity through showcasing environmental films and nurturing local community filmmaking. The festival includes the SUARA series of community filmmaking workshops and ecological talks with exclusive premieres of local and international eco films for free and open to the public. More on: http://beff.org.my/about.php The ENVIRONMENTAL CINEMA programme is an in-festival presentation of a series of exclusive premieres of local and international environmental films. We are seeking to expand the idea of environmental cinema from the traditional to the experimental, encompassing thoughtful narrative and artful expression in an exploration of our relationship with nature. SUARA KOMUNITI (or SUARA Community FIlmmaking) is our year-long community filmmaking programme where we work with indigenous and local communities to harness the power of film to tell their stories with their own images and in their own voice. Our team of SUARA trainers conducts village-level workshops to share filmmaking skills to enable indigenous and local communities to develop community-made films. And SUARA PREMIERES is another part of this programme where completed SUARA KOMUNITI films are brought to a public audience on the big screen during the festival. SUARA PUBLIKA is a special series of public workshops and talks that is presented at the festival each year. SUARA PUBLIKA features leading environmental scientists and organisations, community-based organisations, storytellers and filmmakers who present exciting workshops and talks about some of the key cultural and environmental issues in Sabah, Borneo and Malaysia today. The BOLEH BAH FILEM KITA! short film competition is part of this programme, as a platform for local filmmakers to showcase their talent.
