Kao Malaysia Proudly Supports the Japanese Film Festival 2025

Kuala Lumpur, 26 August 2025 – Kao Malaysia is delighted to once again lend our support as a sponsor of the highly anticipated Japanese Film Festival (JFF) 2025, which will bring the best of Japanese cinema to audiences nationwide from 10 September to 19 October 2025. At the press conference held on 26 August 2025 at GSC Mid Valley, Kao Malaysia representatives joined the Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur (JFKL) and fellow partners in unveiling this year's festival lineup. The event concluded with a special screening of The Solitary Gourmet, giving guests a heartfelt preview of the festival's cinematic offerings.

This year, JFF 2025 celebrates films that capture the beauty of life's simple pleasures – from food and human connection to moments of quiet reflection. The festival has grown into a meaningful platform for cultural and knowledge exchange between Japan and Malaysia, and Kao Malaysia is proud to be part of this journey.

All films will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles. Tickets are priced at RM10, except for The Solitary Gourmet, which will be sold at prevailing ticket prices. Tickets for the screenings can be purchased ONE (1) week before the first screening at each region via GSC Ticketing Kiosks, GSC e-payment at gsc.com.my or GSC Mobile App.

This year, The Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur (JFKL) is organizing a 3-day filmmaking workshop specially designed for local film students from Multimedia University (MMU), Sunway University, New Era University College, and Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan (ASWARA). The workshop, led by Japanese director UESUGI Tetsuya, will promote cross-cultural knowledge sharing between Japanese and Malaysian participants, with the completed short films to be showcased on JFKL's social media platforms.

Festival-goers will also be able to take part in the JFF Stamp Rally, an interactive activity where visitors can collect stamps throughout the festival to redeem exclusive goodies and prizes. Kao Malaysia is proud to contribute to this initiative by sponsoring our well-loved products as part of the exclusive giveaway, bringing added delight to festival audiences while further strengthening cultural connections.

Kao Malaysia's involvement underscores our dedication to enriching lives not only through our innovative products but also by supporting initiatives that strengthen cultural ties, empower youth, and inspire creativity.
