Kami dari IDN Pictures sangat bangga dan senang bisa membawa film ini sebagai pembuka dan turut berkompetisi di Jakarta Film Week. Pemutaran ini jadi lebih spesial karena World Premiere,

di mana lebih dulu dari pemutaran reguler di bioskop. Dengan berpartisipasi, semoga dapat menjadi tontonan yang menghibur bagi penonton di Jakarta Film Week,” tutur Susanti Dewi, produser Film Balada Si Roy.

Sementara penyelenggaraan secara daring akan tayang secara eksklusif di Vidio.com. “Kehadiran platform OTT dalam industri perfilman Indonesia adalah sebuah inovasi yang disruptif. Dengan adanya platform OTT, lahir banyak peluang dan kesempatan bagi para produsen film dan kreator konten lokal. Selain itu, platform OTT-pun menjadi jalur distribusi komplementer untuk memperkenalkan hasil karya cerita para anak bangsa. Vidio, sebagai platform OTT terbesar di Indonesia sekaligus rumah bagi karya serial original (Vidio Original Series) memberikan dukungan penuh atas terselenggaranya Jakarta Film Week tahun 2022, yang menjadi wadah dan ajang apresiasi atas konten penyiaran hasil karya anak bangsa. Kami berharap ajang ini dapat menjadi motivasi bagi para kreator perfilman Indonesia untuk terus semangat dan berkarya,” ujar Monika Rudijono selaku Managing Director Vidio menyampaikan.

Jakarta Film Week diharapkan menjadi wadah bagi para pelaku industri film Indonesia, terutama di Jakarta agar semakin berkembang baik secara wacana, keterampilan juga pengembangan jaringan. Selain itu dapat menjadi pemicu bagi industri film di daerah lain untuk semakin berkembang sehingga bisa meningkatkan kualitas industri film di Indonesia secara keseluruhan.

JAKARTA FILM WEEK READY TO BE BACK IN OCTOBER 2022

Jakarta, 16 September 2022 - Jakarta Film Week (JFW), an international film festival, is back this year on 13-16 October 2022 both online and offline. The press conference for the launch of JFW 2022 will be held online and offline on Friday, 16 September 2022, at CGV FX Sudirman, Jakarta. This event will be attended by Gumilar Ekalaya as Head of the Creative Economy Division of DKI Jakarta Provincial Tourism and Creative Economy Office, Vivian Idris as Festival Board, Rina Damayanti as Festival Director, Novi Hanabi as Program Manager, Jourdy Pranata as Festival Ambassador, and Susanti Dewi as a representative from IDN Pictures.

"Jakarta serves as a city that responds to creative economic activities and facilitates the space and needs for films, from both the audience and the growing industry," said Andhika Permata, Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Tourism and Creative Economy Office, in his opening remarks for today's Press Conference. The second Jakarta Film Week highlighting the theme Emerge is again initiated by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Tourism and Creative Economy Office.

The theme was chosen to represent new hopes emerging after the pandemic, as expressed by Gumilar Ekalaya, Head of the Creative Economy Division of the DKI Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Office. “In its second year of implementation, the Jakarta Film Week carries the theme ‘Emerge’. As the pandemic has subsided, we now can see new opportunities. This festival is expected to become a platform for the emergence of a new start for filmmakers. Hopefully, in the following years this international film festival will remain present to enliven the film industry and continue to be supported by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Tourism and Creative Economy Office," said Gumilar Ekalaya.

This year, the Jakarta Film Week still has two main programs, namely film screenings and non-film screenings. The film screening program will consist of 3 subprograms, namely the Global Feature (screening of selected feature films both from Indonesia and overseas), the Global Short (screening of selected short films, both from Indonesia and overseas), and the Jakarta Film Fund (short film story idea competition).

In the film screening program, there will also be a competition session consisting of the Global Feature Award (best international feature film award), the Direction Award (best Indonesian feature film award), the Global Short Award (best international short film award), the Jakarta Film Fund Award (award for films produced by the Jakarta Film Fund), the Global Animation Award (animated short film award), and the Series of The Year (original series award that aired on OTT).

"The massive enthusiasm of the program team for the Jakarta Film Week 2022 this time is equivalent to the immense enthusiasm of film industry activists, starting from the increasing number of registrants for film competition from last year to a new variety of programs for various lines. Hopefully, the programs that we offer at this year's Jakarta Film Week will also play a big role in the development of the film industry for the country and internationally," said Novi Hanabi, Program Manager of JFW 2022.

The non-film screening programs consist of the Masterclass (training for film industry professionals with experienced speakers in the international film industry), the Talks (public discussions about the film industry with innovative and experienced panelists), the Community (sharing space for the film community to expand networks and exchange knowledge with film industry experts), the Jakarta Film Fund (short film story idea competition, with 3 selected proposals receiving production, technical and training support), the Road to Jakarta Film Week (a series of activities held ahead of the peak event of Jakarta Film Week 2022). This event is held in close collaboration with film education institutions in Indonesia, in the form of discussions and talks with film industry practitioners.

In addition to discussions and talks with film industry practitioners, the Road to Jakarta Film Week will also show 24 short films exclusively on Vidio.com, as a result of collaboration with film education institutions in Indonesia, and host the Exhibition (exhibition and meeting space for film workers, film professionals, technology initiatives, investors, and audiences).

Another new program this year is the Producer's Lab, a program as a result of collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia and Platform BUSAN, which exclusively facilitates Indonesian film producers to compete domestically and internationally. Yulia Evina Bhara, a film producer from Indonesia, and Alemberg Ang, a film producer from the Philippines, will be mentors for this program. The selected participants will have the opportunity to take part in Platform BUSAN 2023.

With several new programs, the implementation of JFW 2022 is expected to be fresher as well as a form of support for the rise of the post-pandemic film industry. "In the second year of Jakarta Film Week, we are proud to introduce new programs and collaborative programs with different partners, ranging from roadshows to campuses in the Road to Jakarta Film Week to new award categories, namely the Series of The Year and the Global Short Animation. We also have a new program, namely the Producer's Lab, which will serve as a platform for the development of the film industry domestically and internationally. In addition, with the spirit of emergence, we present a new face, Jourdy Pranata as the festival ambassador, "said Rina Damayanti, Festival Director of JFW 2022.

In this second year, the JFW has received 461 films registered from 28 countries. The film Balada Si Roy produced by IDN Pictures has been chosen as the opening film for JFW 2022. The screening will also be a world premiere for the film. “Balada of Si Roy is a manifestation of intellectual property (IP) that is timeless. Now we bring it back to greet longtime fans and young people of today. We at IDN Pictures are very proud and happy to be able to bring this film as an opening and to compete in the Jakarta Film Week. This screening feels even more special because it will serve as the World Premiere of the film, which precedes its regular screenings in theaters. The presence of the film can hopefully be an entertaining spectacle

for the audience at the Jakarta Film Week," said Susanti Dewi, producer of Balada Si Roy.

This year's offline Jakarta Film Week will be held in 3 different locations, namely CGV Grand Indonesia, Kineforum at Taman Ismail Marzuki for film screenings and non-film screenings programs, and Ashley Hotel for the Producer's Lab.

Meanwhile, the online event will be broadcasted exclusively on Vidio.com. “The presence of OTT platforms is a disruptive innovation in the Indonesian film industry. OTT platforms offer many opportunities for film producers and local content creators. In addition, OTT platforms also serve as complementary distribution channels to introduce the works of Indonesian film talents. Vidio, the largest OTT platform in Indonesia as well as the home for original series works (Vidio Original Series), provides full support for the implementation of the Jakarta Film Week in 2022, which is an event and occasion for the celebration of broadcast content created by the nation's talents. We hope that this event motivates Indonesian film creators to continue to be enthusiastic and work, "said Monika Rudijono as Managing Director of Vidio.

The Jakarta Film Week is anticipated to be a platform for Indonesian film industry players, especially in Jakarta, to develop in terms of discourse, skills, and networks. In addition, it can be a trigger for the film industry in other regions to grow so that the overall quality of the film industry across Indonesia improves. All programs and information related to the Jakarta Film Week can now be accessed on www.jakartafilmweek.com and Instagram @jakartafilmweek.
