Trip to the Wound

This is one of a series of compilations: seven short fiction films and three short documentaries. It is directed by ten filmmakers, visual artists and musicians to honor the tenth anniversary of the Indonesian Reform era.


How to Disappear Completely

A young girl from the countryside dreams of disappearing. She plays a lonely game of hide-and-seek while her mother quotes the Bible and her father relishes in alcohol. She decides to put on a stage play based on an old Philippine film about a family who disappears in the mountain during the war.


Utama: Every Name in History is I

A genre-blending mixture of fiction, documentary, filmic tableaus, philosophical meditation, political allegory, mythical fantasy, costume parade, dramatic enactments and film essay, this film sets into motion an inquiry into a subterranean network of issues related to myths, history, origins and power.


Mikhail Karikis

In Children of Unquiet, Karikis collaborated with the children of the remaining families living in the area around the geothermal power plant to create a film that orchestrates a children’s “take-over” of a deserted workers’ village and its adjacent industrial and natural locations.


Kim In-whoe

Until the late 1960s, records of Korean shamanism were limited to materials by Japanese folklorists in the 1920s and 1930s and a small number of scholars in Korean Studies. A young educationalist in those days, Kim In-whoe felt the Western educational paradigm was limitedly applied to Korean society and became interested in Koreans’ traditional religious beliefs, or shamanism.
