JAKARTA - Good news for lovers of local cinema! Mahakarya Pictures together with renowned director Upie Guava officially announced the release date of their latest family film, "Rainbow on Mars".
The first Indonesian children's science fiction (sci-fi) film will land simultaneously in all cinemas starting March 18, 2026, coinciding with the Lebaran holiday.
The Long Journey to the Wide Screen
After going through an intensive production process for more than five years since 2020, "Rainbow on Mars" is finally ready to greet the audience. Interestingly, this film is a pioneer in the use of XR (Extended Reality) technology in the Indonesian children's film industry, promising spectacular visuals that are equivalent to global quality.
Producer Dendi Reynando revealed that the birth of "Rainbow on Mars" was based on concern for the lack of educational viewing options for children in Indonesia.
"Films for children and families are currently very limited (under supply). We want to provide an alternative so that Indonesian children have their own hero stories that are relevant to their imagination," said Dendi Reynando.
Director Upie Guava brings a big vision through this work. Inspired by Hollywood sci-fi masterpieces such as Jurassic Park and Star Wars, Upie wants Indonesian children to have local idol figures who are able to trigger dreams as high as the sky.
"I want through the film 'Rainbow on Mars', Indonesian children to realize that they can dream as high as possible and have the ability to achieve it," explained Upie Guava.
This film tells the story of Pelangi, the first child born on the planet Mars. Through the character Pelangi, the audience will be invited to see the tenacity of Indonesian children in an effort to save the world. This strong moral message is wrapped in a package of cutting-edge technology that is child-friendly.
Full Support for the Dream of the Future
In its journey to realize perfect visual quality, the film "Rainbow on Mars" is also fully supported by Tabungan BRI Junio. This collaboration is in line with the film's message to invite children to save early in order to realize their big dreams in the future.
