Malaysia’s film agency FINAS has confirmed plans for an inaugural festival and content market this year, setting dates in November for the Kuala Lumpur event.
The International Film Festival Malaysia (IFFM) will run 10-18 November, with a focus on films with Asian/ASEAN focus, helping to differentiate it from other festivals in the region. There will also be a competition line-up, and – for the first edition at least – Malaysia will be the festival’s country focus. Retrospectives and “international hits” will round out the first edition.
