JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said films could teach anti-corruption values. This medium is one of the creative approaches to show a negative impact on fraudulent practices.
This was conveyed by KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata when opening the International Film Screening and the Anti-Corruption Film Festival (ACFFEST) discussion which was held to fill the 20th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN-PAC) in Bali.
We need various creative approaches, one of which is through works of art such as film. With strong visuals and narratives, films can describe the negative impact of corrupt behavior and show the importance of the role of each individual in maintaining integrity," Alexander said as quoted on Thursday, December 5.
Alexander said films can be used not only as entertainment. Moral messages, including the struggle against corruption in this way, touch more various levels of society.
"Films have a unique power to convey moral messages in depth without being rude," he said.
The ACFFEST themed One Decade of Work: Eradicating Corruption Through Art. This activity screened six anti-corruption films from ASEAN member countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
The films that are shown have various messages related to corrupt behavior such as greed, injustice, and lies. In the future, the anti-corruption commission hopes that ACFFEST can expand its reach by holding a Southeast Asian-scale short film competition.
"We hope that ASEAN-PAC member countries can contribute to film competitions at the regional level by helping disseminate information and also sending short films with anti-corruption values," said Alexander.
"This collaboration will be a big step in creating a culture of life with integrity in Southeast Asia," he concluded.
