Indonesian Film Festival 2015
Get a glimpse of Indonesia’s many faces without the inconvenience of a seven-hour flight.
Overview
The often-ignored film industry of one of Australia’s closest neighbours will get its moment in the spotlight at ACMI cinemas this April. Organised by the Melbourne University Indonesian Student Association, the Indonesian Film Festival will celebrate its tenth anniversary with a small but robust program of ten feature films. For Melburnians, it’s one of the best ways to get a glimpse of Indonesia’s many faces without the inconvenience of a seven-hour flight.
The festival begins on Thursday, April 9 with a screening of romantic drama Likas’ Three Breaths, with director Rako Prijanto and lead actress Atiqah Hasiholan both in attendance for a post-film Q&A. Other standout titles include acclaimed indie drama Siti, relationship comedy When Will You Get Married?, horror flicks Haunted and Test of Fear and the politically-charged music documentary Streetside.
