Busan International Film Festival is Asia's largest film festival, which has been a platform for Asian filmmakers and the world to show innovative and fresh works.
The election of Pangku as BIFF 2025 official selection and competing in Vision's program is also special because this year BIFF marks the 30th edition of its festival journey.
BIFF 2025 is also the world premiere for the film Pangku. This moment is certainly an important step for the journey of the film Reza Rahadian, which this year is entering two decades.
The election of Pangku to be shown at BIFF 2025 proves Reza's artistic expertise, not only as one of the best actors that Indonesia has, but also as a director of a long film whose steps have just begun.
"I feel honored and with full humility I would like to thank BIFF 2025. BIFF is certainly not a festival that is foreign to me, because the two films I played have also been screened at the festival. This time, I am back with the film that I directed. Hopefully this work is well received by the film community, it can be a reflection for global audiences and has a resonance with the struggle for characters in the film, "said the director of the film Pangku, Reza Rahadian, quoted by VOI from a media broadcast, Tuesday, August 19.
