Indonesia on the Move

Indonesia on the Move

Combined programme | IFFR 2005

Opulent bouquet of occasionally colourful, occasionally tranquil short Indonesian films that all breathe the urgency of a society adrift. The new era has come rapidly and overwhelmingly, and the youngest film makers have quickly found their form. Art for art’s sake was not an option. Even the most experimental short film has both feet firmly on the ground. A striking reality, for sure. (GjZ)
