JAKARTA - The 2022 Indodax Short Film Festival (ISFF) awarding has just finished with great fanfare. This event is the largest annual short film event in Indonesia which is routinely held by Indodax every year and is the fourth time, after being held for the first time in 2019.

Unlike the previous year, ISFF 2022 did not provide a special theme for making films. Of course this decision was taken because Indodax wants every film activist to be much more creative to spill his ideas into the film.

The event which took place on Thursday night, November 17, 2022 at 19.00 WIB and broadcast via Indodax Youtube, presented three well-known jury members who had been poor across the world of film.

The three jury in question are Ernest Prakasa as the Author and Director with his work, namely Check Shop Next door, Imperfect, and Teka-Teki Tika; Mira Lesmana as Producer and Screenwriter with his masterpieces, namely What's with Love, Adventure of Sherina, Laskar Pelangi, and Paranoia; Anjas Maradita as Content Creator who is a YouTuber, Founder of Daunnet Films, Co-Founder of Neurons, Creative Ads Agency, and Co-Founder of Conjecture. Also present was Dian Rintari as a representative from Indodax.

Of the hundreds of short films that have been included in the 2022 ISFF Confiscation, the Indodax committee has selected 15 films that were judged by the jury at this awarding night event. The four scoring points assessed by the four jury to assess the 15 films are from a scenario ( story idea, theme, plot, originality, dialogue, conformity of the event theme, and message submitted), character deepening (actor selection, actor suitability with role, and character explanation), cinematography (visual concept, shooting techniques, angle and framing), as well as editing (image composition, sound, color grading, and music selection).

Mira Lesmana, who is one of the jury, really appreciates the production houses that have been involved in this event. According to her, the film quality of the participants this year is quite diverse and technically very good.

Not only appreciating the filmmakers, but Mira Lesmana also appreciates Indodax for successfully making the event run very neatly and smoothly and hopes that this event can be held again.

"I am very happy to be a judge at the 2022 ISSF, seeing the works of young people who look full of passion. Passion is very much needed because Indonesian cinema really needs new talents to fill and add creative human resources to continue to improve the Indonesian film industry," said Mira Lesmana, in her statement, quoted on Sunday, November 27.

"Although technically it's very good, there are certainly those who still need more learning and increasing flying hours by watching more, reading books about filming, and diligently participating in events like this so that they can continue to increase their experience. I also hope that in the future someone will start to dare to make their own music to score into the films," added Mira Lesmana.

In line with Mira Lesmana, Ernest Prakasa, who is the first to be a judge for the Indodax Short Film Festival (ISFF), also conveyed the impression and message for short filmmakers out there and for prospective 2023 ISFF participants later.

"I'm very happy to see various works ranging from drama, horror and various genres. As Ms. Mira said, I'm excited for my friends to take part in events like this because in addition to adding experience, I can also test my friends, I think which level has reached. It is also very useful to add networking," said Ernest.

Not only that, Anjas Maradita, who has been a judge many times, also congratulated the winners and gave encouragement to the filmmakers who have not won the award. He hopes that the filmmakers there can continue to participate in this ISFF competition, especially since the prize is big.

"I myself have never felt bored of the work that was submitted to the Indodax Short Film Festival because the participants were always determined. In fact, many works are very cool. I hope that apart from being a competition, it can also be a practice when going into the industry, from a mental perspective and skills are ready," said Anjas.

In a series of events held the Indodax Short Film Festival (ISFF) 2022, Indodax will not only hold a short film competition, but also hold a workshop entitled Kuntu Sukses to Make Films'' which will be held on Thursday, July 14, 2022, at 19.00-21.00 WIB by presenting a resource person, namely Angga Dwimas Sasongko, a well-known producer and director with the famous film, namely Jagat Kematulan, Later We Tell About Today, Story of Kale, Wiro Sableng: Penyerang Maut Naga Geni 212, Filosofi Kopi, etc.
