JAKARTA - Yosep Anggi Noen is trusted by Visinema to direct the film 24 Hours with Gaspar. His satisfaction increased after his latest film competed at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) for the Kim Ji Seok Award category.

So far, his works have always gone to film festivals before it airs regularly. For Yosep Anggi Noen, film festivals are not a matter of appointment but also part of promotions to the public.

Almost all of my films go to the festival first then to the Indonesian audience. The challenges are watched by people who don't understand the culture," said Yosep Anggi Noen.

Producing curiosity for the audience but in context, the cinema industry when 2/3 of the films were at the festival and not only known for the film but the cinema industry itself. This is important to maintain," he continued.

Yosep Anggi Noen directed the film 24 Hours with Gaspar, starring Reza Rahadian. Reza, who has a similar experience, added that the presence of a film festival is also a way of appreciating the film industry.

"Every festival has its own way of managing it so there is a difference. The festival initiated the theme but the form of appreciation and wake-up calls saw significantly from Indonesia's development," said Reza Rahadian.

"For BIFF, it makes us aware in general, it is our achievement," he said.

It is known, BIFF created the Renaissance of Indonesian Cinema program where they screened 12 Indonesian films and series as a form of appreciation for the revival of cinema as a strong momentum after the pandemic.

On the other hand, Yosep Anggi Noen explained that 24 Hours with Gaspar is his new forum in making films and is different from his previous works.

The film festival is said to be a film that is difficult to watch. Usually festival films use a different formulation from commercial. But every film has the same opportunity to meet the audience," said Anggi Noen.

The new kanvas also drew the process. I put in a car chase and shoot. I put in a love story, sad story and others in a film that comes from a book," he said again.
