Besides an observation image of the society reality, a film also reflects the filmmaker’s soul. The short films selected for Indonesia Raja 2016 Bali bring the audience freely to a contemplative place straight to a sterile silent space. As illustrated in the visualization collage SILENT, the anxiety depicted in REVENGE, smells rotten corruption and random emotions of procrastinating in BIRU. While the contemplation might just be limited in the film medium, at least the audience would be able to have new point of views that had been missed. Such a pause, like the spaces in the rows of sentences. It will be difficult to understand the meaning without these spaces. Without a pause then life will just rushes leaving no chance to turn around. All these shorts in Indonesia Raja 2016 Bali program could be some sort of a respite in life. # Point of Discussion 1.

In the so-called stopover city Bandung, various filmmakers create diverse kinds of shorts. They explore the flexibile possibilities with shorts medium and deliver their very own personal & contextual language. PULANG, the first film uses only a single still image with voice-over to tell a memory. LAPAR explore a static long shot accompanied by monologue and slow pacing. MONTAGE OF EDELWEISS is a contrast to the two first films, exploring camera moves and a dynamic new composite whole from fragments of pictures, text, and music to deliver its messages and ideas. LIE=PRAY is a highlight of seventh art, combining various art as the language. The closing film in the program is ANGAN, opening a free personal subjective interpretation for the audience.

Jakarta is packed with rushing people and Bogor with its public transportation honking horns all day and night. It is never easy to be in between. This creates an assumption that there is an identity crisis in the city of fancy cafes and banner printing houses come in abundant, more than the amount of high schools. The aforementioned crisis is the tendency to imitate another city so as to have the same impression of it. PEMAIN KE-12, a documentary by Selly Melinda, represents this in obvious way. It is a story of Persija, a football club which Jakartans are proud of. Jakarta is not the only one; Java also contributes its culture to Depok filmmakers. In SIUL SIAL, Dimaz Sri Junanta retells a Javanese tribe belief of a prohibition in whisting at night. Menunggu Malam by Jeffri Minggar shows an exhausting night trip in a small town with all of its social dynamics. This might be the closest representation to Depok. The program ends with GADIS BERKERUDUNG HITAM DAN MANUSIA SERIGALA (A Black Veiled Girl and A Werewolf) by Orizon Astonia, which presents a story about a curios girl who does not obey her mother, sneaking out from home at night. This film is a conclusion that culture biases that will always exist among our society. No need to be fearful of this, as in the end, spatial things will never end in a harmony. # Point of Discussion 1.Audience’s comments about the film. 2.Wish to get Q&A with filmmakers (if possible) 3.Filmmakers’ response to identity crisis in Depok PEMAIN KE 12 Selly Melinda | Broadcasting UI | 2015 | Documentary | 12:00 In the chaotic Indonesia’s football world, the Jakmanias consistently prove their existence in Jakarta.

This film answers those questions. 12 INDONESIA RAJA 2016: DEPOK Director’s statement: Not every football supporter is an anarchist; there is a deep loyalty behind their high pride. This film was made to present a new taste, story, and view of The Jakmanias, a group of football supporters.

There are messages, hope and often secret to talk about. When the things you want to talk about is a difficult subject then the expression, sense and action become victims of concerns and obscurity. These four shorts are a glimpse of overview when conversation about things that can not be discussed or should be kept a secret become an important matter.

One day he sees two teenagers joking with their hand movements. Callie doesn’t understand the meaning and can’t stop thinking about it. 18 INDONESIA RAJA 2016: JAKARTA Award - Special Mention, Drama|Comedy category, XXI Short Film Festival 2016. Director’s Statement: Sex is taboo subject to be talked about in Indonesia especially for school-age children. Adults are afraid to explain and tend to shy away from the conversation. As a result, little information available to answer the children’s curiosity about sex. There are a lot of cases in which children were given incomplete knowledge about sex and sexually transmitted disease and try to keep the children stay away from sex. This topic has come to my attention in a long time. I have always been hindered to talk about sex openly in society. Starting from feeling uncomfortable and my childhood memory, I decided to raise this issue in a short film THE FLOWER AND THE BEE set in 1990s where most children seek information from their peer-friends in contrast to the present where most information is accessible in the internet. This is a period in which obtaining information would require an active act. Director’s Profile: Monica Vanesa Tedja (born in Jakarta- 1991) graduated from Universitas Multimedia Nusantara. She directed several shorts such as “How to Make a Perfect Xmas Eve” (best short film-IFDC pada XXI Short Film Festival 2013) and “Konseptor Kamuflase” screened at various festival including Scream Queen Film Festival 2014 in Tokyo-Japan. 19 INDONESIA RAJA 2016: JATIWANGI Programmer: Bunga Siagian & Ismal Muntaha | JATIWANGI ART FACTORY Duration: 53:49 Age Rating: 13+ Retrospecting on previous Indonesia Raja programs, one overlooked and unpresented element is the film & video production aesthetic development. In our opinion it is important to make notes of digital medium usage in film and video production, the aesthetic output of it, and any emerging possible movements. These would contribute to the discourse of Indonesian contemporary cinema discussion. Therefore as programmers we feel the urge to contribute a program from Jatiwangi as an observation of works produced from Village Video Festival. It’s an effort to participate in Indonesia Raja, one of the relatively militant and consistent short-film program that observes film production development involcing a lot of programmers and wide coverage of Indonesia areas outreach. Village Video Festival is a residency-based festival that invites artists to stay in Jatiwangi for several weeks and to produce artworks related to Jatiwangi contextually, either for an individual or collaborative work with locals. VVF produced artworks are digital medium based, which is, as we all know, more democratic than film medium. Among the implications of digital camera technology is that it’s technically dynamic, so that it has experimental possibility for filmmakers, either in choosing the form or in the activism context. Another essential thing is an ability to remove the boundary between camera reality and behind the scene reality, so that many daily problems can be exposed. These three films in this program represent digital spirit, both in terms of aesthetic choice and a movement. UUDARAN Carda Arifin | 2015 | Documentary | 20:00 Digital camera as a highly dynamic medium is used to record locals’ comments on a rumour of Kertajati airport being built near their neighborhood. Playfully, the camera is handed over to one person to another by themselves. The result is, the film is not only exposing the locals’ perspective on modernity (represented by an airport with all impacts it brings economically and socially), but also showing locals’ sovereignity and autonomy to deliver their stories to wider public. The locals’ autonomy in this practical-medium field by VVF and JaF (Jatiwangi Art Factory) is manifested in JaF TV program, a TV channel intended to pirate national TV program which is dominated by mainstream media. The premise being, locals create their own TV program content as an alternative or even as a substitution to the programs produced by mega media. 20 INDONESIA RAJA 2016: JATIWANGI WARUNG KOPI Mahardhika Yudha & Mohammad Fauzi (Forum Lenteng) | 2011 | Documentary | 14:53 One of JaF TV programs, Warung Kopi is a video output of artist residency in VVF 2011. Warung kopi, or coffee shop in English, has its social function as a place where people meet up and discuss issues, be it local gossips, football matches, or nationally hot issues. “Warung Kopi” pirates news program we often see in national TV (such as TV One), which usually presents experts to debate on hot issues. Located in a coffee shop, it shows news clips of national issues within a set-up TV and people discussing it. In this video, locals replace “the experts” to respond and to discuss big issues.
