Film Host

JAKARTA - Two horror films directed by Fajar Nogros, namely Inang and Horor Keliling will compete at the 26th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN).

Host will compete in the main competition at BIFAN entitled the Bucheon Choice Award. Meanwhile, Horror Mobile will participate in the It Project event or the main competition in the field of film funding.

Fajar said that it was a great surprise for him and the IDN Pictures production team when he received the news that his work was appreciated by BIFAN.

"This appreciation adds enthusiasm for us to continue to produce quality works," said Fajar, who is also the Head of IDN Pictures, quoted from ANTARA, Wednesday, June 15.

The Head of IDN Pictures and producer of the films Inang and Horror Keliling Susanti Dewi said that BIFAN's appreciation for the two films made her even more excited to make good, entertaining works, and have clear ideas and visions.

"As a Producer, having a clear vision and idea for each work is a must, and I am grateful that the works we create at IDN Pictures have that," he said.

“Inang” tells the story of a supermarket employee named Wulan (played by Naysila Mirdad) who was abandoned by her boyfriend while pregnant.

A desperate Wulan was reunited with the Santoso family who wanted to adopt the child she was carrying and were willing to take care of Wulan at their home during her pregnancy.

While living in the house, Wulan slowly began to witness the strange behavior of the Santoso family who adhered to traditional Javanese occultism.

Meanwhile, taking the setting in a rural area in the 1970s, “Horor Keliling” focuses on the character Jarno. He is a stage crew who works for a well-known traditional arts group and dreams of becoming a famous star.

Jarno then meets Supri who offers to work together to earn money by becoming a traveling horror storyteller.

Jarno slowly learns about his power to turn fairy tales into reality, as well as his dark past about a sugar factory that destroyed his family.

For your information, BIFAN is the largest and most prestigious film festival in Asia which focuses on awarding films from the horror, thriller, action, science fiction, and comedy genres.

This prestigious film festival will take place from 7 to 17 July 2022 in Bucheon, South Korea.
