Artizens Ep 4: MIFFest 2023 – launchpad for the filmmaker

THIS week, Artizens’ Datuk Kamil Othman and Manvir Victor sat down with Joanna Gan, the founder and organiser of MIFFest since its inception in 2017.

She explains the idea behind the festival and shares some of the inroads Malaysian movies have made abroad thanks to being featured in this festival.

Artizens continues to push the envelope and promote more inclusivity. The programme hopes policymakers note that the industry needs more leeway to express and promote itself. This is especially so that global financing is available to them with due process.

This year MIFFest 2023 will be held at LaLa Port in Kuala Lumpur from July 23 to 29. Artizens will revisit the programme and list of movies in another episode.
