The 1st Annual Samui Film Festival (SFF) will be held from 14-16 August 2009. SFF selected Living Yoga as one of its premiere events! SFF takes place on the beautiful tropical island of Samui in Thailand.

The website states: The Samui Film Festival grew out of a pure love for meaningful independent filmmaking. Additionally, we are world travelers who rejoice in the cross-cultural expansion that subtly transforms all those who wander far and wide, and we embrace film as a medium for this soul-level evolution. We are delighted to celebrate with you by sharing this year’s roster of inspiring and exquisite hand-selected films from around the world with the local community as well as travelers to this beautiful tropical island. (Living Yoga screens on Aug. 15th)
