Presidential candidate number one, Anies Baswedan, talked about 63 percent of Indonesians as pirated film connoisseurs. According to him, the solution to suppress the lift is strict legal prosecution against piracy perpetrators.

"Well, that's law enforcement. So how do we seriously enforce this piracy," Anies told reporters at the Usmar Ismail Film Center Building, Central Jakarta, Saturday, January 20.

Law enforcement measures are not said to be the only solution. Anies said, increasing public awareness of anti-piracy is also important.

By doing these two steps, it is believed that piracy will decrease and the public will appreciate artists more for officially watching works or films.

"Building awareness that watching pirate is actually like theft, so awareness," said Anies.

Not only that, Anies also provided a roadmap for roadmaps so that Indonesian films were more advanced.

There are at least five things that must be done, namely, talent development, government support, protection of film workers, increasing film centers, and regulations.

"Our commitment is to build an ecosystem. The goal is to make Indonesian films host in their own country, and guests enchant in people's countries," said Anies.
