Indonesian Filmmakers Talk Netherlands Partnerships, Complex Colonial History & The Industry’s Future
With the IFFR ending, Indonesian filmmakers such as Kamila Andini and Timoteus Anggawan discuss the country's relationship with the Netherlands.
That focus came on the back of a co-production agreement between Indonesia and the Netherlands at the inaugural JAFF Market in December last year, and highlights the growing importance for the country’s films on the global stage, according to the Indonesian filmmakers we spoke with last week. Yuki Aditya was part of the Tiger Competition’s jury, while prolific filmmaker Kamila Andini — behind Yuni, Before, Now & Then and Netflix tentpole series Cigarette Girl — brought her latest project, Four Seasons in Java, to IFFR’s Cinemart. Other Indonesian films that featured in IFFR’s programming this year include Gowok: Javanese Kamasutra, Midnight in Bali, Bachtiar, Shaping the Future, Turang, Till Death Do Us Part and Whispers in the Dabbas.
