KLiFF 2008
i missed the screenings (FOC open to public), i missed the awards/gala (no good comment from tang who watched at channel-Kirana), but i stuck my ass at the Seri Pacific Hotel for the 2-day symposium (thanks to tuck cheong).
i'd say, its indeed a nice experience to have attend the symposium as it opened my eyes about some 'film' issue going on in Asia. i enjoyed a lot from presentations by interesting speakers like Nick from Philippines, Hassan from Malaysia and Paolo from Italy. besides, i also make some friends and meet some long-time-no-see figures from MIIM.
however, i was quite disappointed that the organizer (needless to mention) did not do a good job with the fund (i estimated from my point of view) given (by the ministry i supposed?). as we discussed over the break time with friends around, we really thought they could do a lot better than this. the promotions were not out-reaching the public, i was told that there was last minute cancellation of screening, the symposium could be a lot better (in various aspects) etc.
anyway, i'm not in a analyzing mood now, so i'd just say, i'm really looking forward to next year's KLiFF, hoping with the aid of KakiSeni, it'll be a better one, with more affection, at least.
p/s i do hope that the attendees in the future will not be late again and also switch their hand-phones to vibrate mode.
