The first Indonesian film festival in Los Angeles is set to be held on September 3rd & 4th at The Regent Theater in Westwood Village. This 2-Day Festival will screen a number of critically praised feature films and a compilation of short films to showcase Indonesian talents and beauty.
Besides inviting the film enthusiasts in L.A. to attend the screening of Indonesian feature and short films, LAIFF also invites the people who work in the film industry to join its workshop program. Focusing on the industry growth and Indonesia as an exquisite location for global filmmakers, the workshop will involve and the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of Indonesia, along with some producers/actors whose films are screened at the festival.
“This is the first Indonesian film festival in Los Angeles. It is a chance for Indonesian filmmakers to show their talents while the local filmmakers who are based here in the U.S. can learn more about the opportunity in making films in Indonesia, expand their networks, and talk face-to-face with the people in the industry & regulators,” said Endah from Dapoer Kita Productions (DKP), the organizer of LAIFF.
Mari Elka Pangestu, the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, is in full support of this initiative, stating that this is one of the ways to expose Indonesia to the global motion picture industry. Link into their world at http://www.la-iff.org/
