As the Malaysia International Film Festival (MIFFest) approaches its 10th anniversary next year, founder Joanne Goh is looking beyond expansion.

“We expect the festival to become a hub of Southeast Asia,” Goh tells Variety, outlining her vision for MIFFest as a meeting place for filmmakers, producers and industry leaders across the region.

That vision gained momentum this year when MIFFest’s ASEAN On Screen program received official recognition from ASEAN Records, a milestone Goh sees as only a beginning.
