Beyond the Screen : Reality of Indonesia Film Industry

The Indonesian film industry is largely dominated by horror films and stories built on similar, proven formulas. As a result, creative space has become increasingly narrow, limiting diversity and innovation across genres and narratives. This documentary invites audiences to reflect on the importance of diversity and originality in Indonesian cinema. With its rich and varied cultural heritage, Indonesia holds immense storytelling potential that remains largely unexplored. Film should function not only as entertainment, but as a cultural mirror and an art form, one that represents the nation’s identity from multiple perspectives, rather than offering repetitive and monotonous experiences.
