JAKARTA - The 2024 Indonesian Journalist Film Festival (FFWI) is ready to be held again by holding an official launch on March 7. This prestigious event will take place at the Proclamation Script Formulation Museum, Menteng, Jakarta, as a form of appreciation for the work and creativity of Indonesian cinemas.
FFWI received full support from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology through the Directorate of Film, Music and Media, Directorate General of Culture. Not only providing support for activities, but also directly involved in funding this festival.
Close cooperation between FFWI and the Directorate of Film, Music and Media creates an ideal platform to celebrate Indonesia's diversity and wealth of cinema.
The existence of FFWI is increasingly clear about its differentiation compared to a number of film festivals in Indonesia with an assessment based on the film genre.
In addition, the assessment mechanism runs throughout the year by assessing films that have been shown on cinema networks or other subscription TV services within a certain deadline.
Wina Armada Sukardi, President of FFWI, said that this year FFWI may only consist of three genres, namely the horror, comedy and drama genre. Meanwhile, the action or action genre, because the number of films that have not or do not meet the minimum number requirements, will be eliminated.
"We will wait until October-November 2024, how many national film action genres are produced. If it is below the minimum number, five or six titles in a year, we will have to cancel it first," said Wina Armada Sukardi.
Director of Film, Music and Media, Directorate General of Culture, Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, Ahmad Mahendra, provides full support for FFWI 2024. He hopes that FFWI can measure film quality by Indonesian filmmakers.
"Through this festival, we not only celebrate achievements, but also explore new potentials that will bring our film industry to a higher level. Hopefully this festival can be a forum for inspiration, collaboration, and synergy between film people, journalists, and including the wider community, so that we can jointly raise Indonesia's image on the film stage, not only nationally, but also internationally," he said.
As in previous years, the entire committee and judges of FFWI still consisted of experienced cultural and artistic journalists, providing aspects of balance and sustainability in assessing film works.
This ensures that every aspect of Indonesia's cinema can be assessed with the wisdom and sharpness of the analysis of professionals in their fields.
