The Kuala Lumpur Eco Film Festival (KLEFF) is Malaysia’s first and longest-serving creative platform promoting sustainable living. Organized annually since 2008, KLEFF’s mission is to accelerate mainstreaming of sustainable living and stewardship of the environment through the power of audio-visual materials and activities. In the month of October, KLEFF hosts the screening of more than 80 films reaching to an audience of more than 5,000. With the collaboration of partners and sponsors, KLEFF is gradually becoming the nation’s celebrated grassroots cultural and environmental event.

Partnering with important sustainability leaders in the country, the KLEFF is steadfastly paving the way to encourage and inspire grassroots communities to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. Award-winning environmental films, interactive learning workshops, and creative clusters within the Festival help to stress the urgent need to take positive actions today. In addition, the KLEFF also works closely with Malaysian higher institutes of learning with the aim of assisting in the development and progression of environmental communication and innovative solutions to address
today’s environmental crises,.

The Festival also offers diverse and unique opportunities such as film screenings, workshops and talks on sustainable living, fun and creative nature craft activities for children, performances, exhibitions and fairground attractions. This year, supported by the National Commission of Water Services (SPAN), KLEFF 2024 will be mobilized to be one of the platforms that utilize audiovisual outreach in bringing awareness and action in sustainable water management.

About EcoKnights

EcoKnights is a non-governmental environmental organization established in 2005. They have been working with key stakeholders to drive and empower sustainable actions for a better planet. This is done by developing and implementing programs and activities across four pillars. Sustainable community development is the core of all EcoKnights®’ efforts and this is delivered through policy advocacy, on-ground and hands-on community efforts, corporate partnerships, youth volunteerism and strategic engagements and fundraising.

EcoKnights flagship programmes and activities all act as a catalyst for a positive change - no matter how small it is. The positive results seen from small changes encourage further change, and thus, participants and beneficiaries are inspired following their EcoKnights® experience and approach. Through the programs hosted and organised by EcoKnights® participants are empowered with the attitudes, skills, and behaviours they need to make sustainable changes and to thrive on a daily basis.

EcoKnights' Core Values

CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION

We believe in consistently evolving with the Malaysian mainstream mindset in order to position our educational and awareness-building activities as relevant, solution-oriented, positive and empowering.

SUSTAINABILITY

We like to practice what we preach and anyone involved with EcoKnights is encouraged to be more responsible – at work or home, making the current word slightly better one less truant at a time.

PASSION

EcoKnights® value a passionate soul. A passion to serve and protect humanity by working on small efforts at the grassroots level is drilled into the team to produce individuals that are both ecologically conscious and responsible.

RESPECT

Without respect, we wouldn’t be able to create meaningful programs that serve the broader goals of sustainability. We strive to ensure that all of our activities are conducted with the utmost respect to any and every sensitivity that arises.
