JAKARTA - SOE Minister Erick Thohir and Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Salahudin Uno agreed to turn the State Film Production BUMN (PFN) into a film financing institution for filmmakers and the national film industry.
"PFN, as I have consulted with Mr. Menparekraf Sandiaga Uno from the start, PFN can no longer be a filmmaker. Let young Indonesians make films," said Erick Thohir as quoted by Antara, Monday, August 30.
According to the Minister of SOEs, one of the problems in the film industry is funding. Therefore, his party is trying to find a good model so that PFN becomes a film financing institution.
On the same occasion, Menparekraf Sandiaga Uno also agreed with SOE Minister Erick Thohir's plan to turn PFN into a film financing institution.
"The Minister of SOEs Erick Thohir mentioned PFN, I totally agree that PFN's positioning is not that PFN competes with film industry players, but what is needed regarding the government's presence in the film sector is financing," said Sandiaga.
Regarding PFN's plan to become a film financing institution, Menparekraf supports that next year he will collaborate with SOE Minister Erick Thohir.
"Collaboration does not only occur in the business world, collaboration can also be carried out in the government that we give PFN the flexibility to manage film financing funds, for example Rp. 300 billion to provide funding for films that have extraordinary potential," said Sandiaga.
Previously, the Ministry of SOEs immediately directed the State Film Production Corporation or PFN as a film financial institution or film financing that would fund the production of Indonesian films.
Special Staff to the Minister of SOEs Arya Sinulingga said that in the future PFN will also change a lot. PFN is no longer fighting with filmmakers, the Ministry of SOEs has instead directed PFN to become a film financial institution or film financing.
Thus, according to Arya, through its role as a film financial institution, this PFN will lead and enter the financial services cluster.
These efforts can be carried out by means of PFN will be encouraged to become SOEs that act as film financial institutions.
