JAKARTA – The film Sampai Nanti, Hanna! by Agung Sentausa had a special screening at the Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival (JAFF) 2024. This film was not only greeted with high enthusiasm, but also opened up an in-depth discussion.

With a relevant and touching story, Sampai Nanti, Hanna! is ready to be screened simultaneously in cinemas throughout Indonesia on December 5. The screening of Sampai Nanti, Hanna! at Empire XXI was lively with full seats by an enthusiastic audience watching this story of love, pain, and hope.

Hanna, played by Febby Rastanty, was the center of attention in the discussion after the screening. The audience connected with her struggle to get out of the wrong relationship and find freedom.

After the screening, a question and answer session was warmly guided by the moderator and attended by Ary Zulfikar (Executive Producer), Dewi Umaya (Producer), Agung Sentausa (Director), Swastika Nohara (Screenwriter), Febby Rastanty (playing Hanna), and Bio One (playing Gani).

The discussion began with the revelation of the story background by director Agung Sentausa. "This story is based on the reality that many people experience. Choosing the wrong partner is hard, but the courage to get out of the wrong relationship is the main message we want to convey," said Agung.

Febby Rastanty then shared her experience playing Hanna, a character trapped in a manipulative relationship. "Bringing Hanna's pain to the big screen is not easy, but it is important. Many people like Hanna need to be reminded that they have the right to get out of relationships that hurt them," she said.

Bio One, with his typical relaxed yet meaningful style, gave his perspective on his role as Gani. "This film teaches us about choices. We can choose to be the one who hurts, or choose to be the one who helps others to start again. Gani is an example that love doesn't have to be rushed, but must be sincere, even if it means waiting for a second chance," he explained.

The audience also actively participated by asking questions and sharing their views. One audience member asked about how to create the character of Arya, who is so realistic as the wrong partner. "Arya is a reflection of many toxic couples out there. He has an autism spectrum that cannot understand his own condition. Realizing these characters is a challenge, because we want the audience to understand the complex side without being explained verbally," answered director Agung Sentausa in a media statement received on Wednesday, December 4.

Sampai Nanti, Hanna! is a reminder that wrong love is not the end of everything. This film teaches that the courage to get out of a painful relationship is the first step towards true happiness. Sampai Nanti, Hanna! is a mirror for anyone who has ever felt hurt, hope, and the courage to start over.

The audience who attended JAFF felt that the story of this film was very close to real life. "This film made me realize that choosing the wrong partner can happen to anyone. But there is hope, there is always a way out and start again,” said Ary Zulfikar, Executive Producer, closing the Q&A session by expressing his pride.

“Being able to screen at JAFF is a great honor for us. The warm response from the audience proves that this story is relevant and has a place in the hearts of many people. Thank you to everyone who has attended and supported this film,” he said.
