SEMARANG - Success with Disconnected Kites as Mas Aris, Reza Rahadian is again preparing for the 2022 Indonesian Film Festival (FFI). As the Chair of the FFI Committee, Reza plans to hold the 2022 FFI nomination night at Borobudur Temple, Central Java.

The plan has been submitted and has the support of the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo. "On behalf of the Indonesian Film Festival Committee, kulanuwun or excuse me to convey our goals regarding the implementation of the FFI nomination night which hopes to be held in Borobudur. We hope it can be a positive activity not only for FFI but also for the local community," said the Chairman of the FFI Committee. , Reza Rahardian, after meeting Ganjar Pranowo in Semarang, Monday, February 21.

Borobudur was chosen because it is a very iconic destination. The implementation at Borobudur is also the beginning to touch similar areas. Because so far, FFI nominations have always been held in buildings.

"Borobudur is an iconic destination. If we can hold it at Borobudur later, maybe next time we can travel to iconic places from their respective regions. We can travel to other areas in Indonesia," explained Reza, quoted from a release received by VOI.

According to Reza, the FFI nomination night also didn't involve as many crews as the award night, so it was still possible to hold it in a pandemic situation like this. But the value of the nomination night is no less great because that's when the first names that were championed to win awards in FFI appeared.

"The crew is not as large as the peak night, so a situation like this (pandemic) is still possible. I also don't dare if the situation does not allow it to be held outside Jakarta. This is a shared goal, hopefully it can be realized," he said.

Reza added that Ganjar Pranowo also provided input regarding the idea of making other activities that support the FFI nomination night event. This activity can be used for the trip to the FFI nomination night which will be held around October.

"Mr. Ganjar also gave some ideas and activities that we can use for the road to the night of the FFI nomination. The map is still quite large. We want to make a purer from these ideas," he said.

There are several alternative activities that we can do. Among them involve artists or communities around Borobudur or other areas in Central Java. Ganjar also suggested alternative places such as Dieng in case of problems at Borobudur. The ideas by Reza and his team will be mapped and formulated further.

"We have to prepare scenarios A, B, C, and so on. If there is one problem we have to try another, we have to find a solution. It's nice to be able to have a long chat with Pak Ganjar to map out the possibilities that can be done like what. I will definitely formulate everything with the team, arrange a series of activities and will meet him again," said Reza Rahadian.
