Kao Malaysia Proudly Supports the Japanese Film Festival 2024

Kao Malaysia is excited to announce our sponsorship of the Japanese Film Festival (JFF) 2024, reinforcing our commitment to promoting cultural exchange and nurturing young talent. As part of this sponsorship, Kao Malaysia provided Kao products for participants in the Japanese Film Festival 20th Anniversary Short Film Workshop for Teens.

During the press conference on 27 August 2024 at GSC Mid Valley, Kao Malaysia joined hands with the Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur (JFKL) and fellow sponsors to launch this year's festival. The festival will showcase a range of captivating Japanese films from 12 September to 20 October 2024 at selected Golden Screen Cinemas nationwide.

All films will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles, ensuring accessibility for a wider audience.

A highlight of Kao Malaysia's sponsorship is our support for the Short Film Workshop for Teens, an initiative celebrating JFF's 20th anniversary. This five-day workshop which took place from 28 August to 1 September 2024, offered 20 Malaysian and Japanese teens the chance to learn filmmaking from the esteemed director Lim Kah Wai. Kao Malaysia is pleased to provide participants with Kao products, designed to enhance their experience as they explore the creative process.

The goodie bags consisted of well-loved products from Kao's extensive range, including Men's Bioré, Bioré UV sunscreen protection, Bioré GUARD sanitizer spray, and Laurier sanitary pads, offering these young filmmakers a touch of self-care as they embark on their creative journey.

As a company dedicated to improving lives and nurturing communities, Kao Malaysia believes that supporting initiatives like the Japanese Film Festival is crucial to strengthening cultural ties and encouraging youth creativity. This sponsorship reflects our broader vision of promoting mutual understanding and growth through shared experiences.
