I am delighted to present to you the first edition of ChopShots Documentary Film Festival Southeast Asia!

Dengan bangga saya persembahkan ke hadapan Anda edisi pertama ChopShots Documentary Film Festival Southeast Asia!

Good documentaries are intelligent reflections of changing socio-cultural realities and a powerful artistic medium to express personal perspectives and stories. Southeast Asia in its heterogeneity with its wealth of colorful tales, its fast-paced political and social transformation and its tumultuous history is a fertile playground for creative filmmakers. Nowadays, the digital revolution and affordable technology make it possible for anyone to become an independent filmmaker. However, on the international documentary scene, well-crafted documentaries of high quality from Southeast Asia are seen rarely, if at all.

Film dokumenter adalah cerminan dari perubahan realita sosial budaya dan sebuah medium artistik yang kuat untuk mengekspresikan sudut pandang dan kisah-kisah yang personal. Asia Tenggara yang sangat heterogen memiliki harta karun berupa beragam kisah, perubahan politik dan sosial yang sangat cepat dan sejarahnya yang penuh konflik; dengan kata lain, sebuah taman bermain bagi para pembuat film yang kreatif. Dewasa ini, revolusi digital dan teknologi yang terjangkau membuat setiap orang bisa menjadi pembuat film independen. Bagaimanapun, dalam scene dokumenter internasional, film dokumenter berkualitas yang dibuat dengan baik dari Asia Tenggara sangatlah jarang terlihat.

This was the point of departure for Goethe-Institut’s culture and development initiative in 2009 to support the development of documentary filmmaking in Southeast Asia – in the beginning through local projects in each country.

Now three years later, thanks to funding from the European Union, a regional approach has resulted in a series of training programs, seminars and workshops on different aspects of documentary filmmaking.

ChopShots Documentary Film Festival Southeast Asia is the highlight of this string of activities and aims to not only celebrate talented SEA filmmakers and their latest documentaries but also to showcase successful international films from 2012 which have wowed audiences around the globe. It is also an opportunity for young up-and-coming filmmakers from Southeast Asia to meet each other, exchange the latest news on documentary and connect with international professionals from Europe and Asia.

Over 50 films from 25 countries offer a diverse festival program and focus attention on a wide range of topics, from coming to terms with the past and the consequences of man’s exploitation of nature to intimate portraits of the marginalized in society. Additionally, a variety of fringe events such as panel discussions, lectures by the internationally renowned jury and an exhibition on old film theaters around Southeast Asia will complete your festival experience.

Allow yourself to be mesmerized by these true stories that bring us closer together and move us to amazement, laughter and tears!

Ini adalah titik berangkat bagi inisiatif budaya dan pengembangan Goethe-Institut di tahun 2009, pertama kalinya Goethe memberi dukungan pada perkembangan pembuatan film dokumenter di Asia Tenggara, yang awalnya lewat berbagai proyek lokal di tiap negara. Sekarang, tiga tahun kemudian, berkat bantuan dana dari European Union kami bisa melakukan pendekatan regional dengan serangkaian program pelatihan dan seminar serta workshop mengenai berbagai aspek berbeda dari pembuatan film dokumenter.

ChopShots Documentary Film Festival Asia Tenggara adalah puncak dari rangkaian aktifitas di atas dan bertujuan tidak hanya merayakan para pembuat film Asia Tenggara yang berbakat dan film-film dokumenter terbaru mereka, tetapi juga untuk menunjukkan berbagai film yang telah meraih kesuksesan internasional tahun 2012 dan membuat para penonton dari berbagai belahan dunia tercengang.

Ini juga merupakan kesempatan bagi pembuat film baru dari Asia Tenggara untuk saling bertemu dan bertukar berita terbaru soal dokumenter dan menjalin hubungan dengan para profesional internasional dari Eropa dan Asia.

Lebih dari 50 film dan 25 negara mengisi berbagai jenis program dan kami memberi perhatian lebih pada sejumlah topik mulai dari memahami masa lalu dan konsekuensi dari eksploitasi alam oleh manusia, hingga portret intim tentang kaum yang termajirnalkan dalam masyarakat. Sebagai tambahan, berbagai acara lain seperti diskusi panel, kuliah umum oleh para juri internasional, dan pameran tentang bioskop-bioskop tua di seputar Asia Tenggara akan menyempurnakan pengalaman Anda di festival ini.

Biarkan diri Anda terbuai oleh kisah-kisah nyata ini yang akan membawa kita semakin dekat dan membuat Anda bertanya-tanya, tertawa, dan menangis bersama!

Franz Xaver Augustin Festival Director

Welcome to ChopShots!

Selamat datang di ChopShots!

We’re proud to present to you a multitude of documentary films – some of the freshest and best films from around the world, most of which have never been screened in Jakarta.

Kami dengan bangga menghadirkan ke tengah Anda sejumlah film dokumenter terbaik dan terbaru dari seluruh dunia yang hingga kini belum pernah dipertontonkan di Indonesia.

We set the focus of the festival on Southeast Asia and screen the best films from and about Southeast Asia in the International Competition, alongside some of the best recent productions from around the world. Moreover, we have put together a Southeast Asian competition for shorter films that have made their mark in the region. The films we selected tell stories about many different peoples and places; they come from Russia, China, Europe, the Americas, South Asia, Asia Pacific, and of course Southeast Asia. However, they speak a universal language not just in the way they have been made, but in terms of content as well. Many of the stories deal with hardships and suffering. Very few of them are funny, optimistic or light-hearted. They offer us a bleak outlook on the state of the world at the beginning of the 21st century: whether it is the acknowledgement that children need to leave home in order to go to school and the traditional life in the Russian Tundra is over, or whether it is a family suffering from poverty in Indonesia, these documentaries speak of reality without illusions. Obviously the levels of injustice, poverty and suffering differ and the scale is not balanced, yet the struggle is the same, David vs. Goliath, the people vs. their own governments - this is a common theme throughout many, though not all, of the films that we selected.

Fokus dari festival ini adalah Asia Tenggara dengan mempertunjukkan film-film terbaik dari dan tentang Asia Tenggara dalam Kompetisi Internasional bersama dengan beberapa film terbaik saat ini dari seluruh dunia. Lebih dari itu, kami juga membuat kompetisi tersendiri bagi film-film pendek Asia Tenggara yang telah menjadi penanda bagi negara-negara mereka. Film-film yang kami pilih mengisahkan tentang tempat-tempat dan orang-orang yang berbeda; yang berasal dari Rusia, Cina, Eropa, Amerika, Asia Selatan, Asia Pasifik, dan tentu saja Asia Tenggara. Mereka bicara dalam bahasa universal yang tidak hanya meliputi cara pembuatannya, tetapi juga dalam hal muatan. Banyak dari kisah-kisah ini berurusan dengan kesulitan hidup dan penderitaan. Sedikit dari mereka cukup lucu, optimis, dan ringan. Mereka menawarkan pada kita cara pandang yang suram mengenai situasi dunia di awal abad ke-21: apakah itu mengenai anak-anak yang harus menginggalkan rumah untuk bersekolah dan usainya kehidupan tradisional di Russian Tundra, atau seperti sebuah kisah akan penderitaan keluarga karena kemiskinan di Indonesia, film-film dokumenter ini menampilkan kenyataan tanpa ilusi. Tentu saja tingkat ketidakadilan, kemiskinan, dan penderitaan itu berbeda dan skalanya tidak seimbang. Namun, ini masih merupakan perjuangan yang sama, David melawan Goliath, rakyat melawan pemerintahnya sendiri – sebuah tema paling umum yang diangkat meskipun tidak meliputi semua film yang kami pilih.

Yet, all is not lost! There is hope in these stories and the films never fail to entertain. The documentaries of our particular ChopShots selection take us on a journey into their particular world. We feel with the protagonists who stand up and speak out, who take their lives into their own hands and proactively seek change, hopefully for the better!

Let yourselves be inspired by the stories of these extraordinary people!

Biarpun begitu, tidak semuanya kalah. Masih ada harapan dalam kisah-kisah ini dan film-film tersebut tidak pernah gagal dalam menghibur. Film-film dokumenter dari seleksi ChopShots akan membawa kita ke sebuah perjalanan ke dalam dunia tertentu. Kita merasakan apa yang dirasakan sang protagonis yang bangkit dan bicara, yang meletakkan takdir hidup di tangan mereka sendiri dan secara proaktif mencari perubahan, yang semoga untuk kebaikan.

Biarkan diri Anda terinspirasi oleh kisah-kisah mengenai orang-orang luar biasa ini!

DocNet Southeast Asia is proud to present the first edition of ChopShots Documentary Film Festival Southeast Asia. The Festival is the highlight of a series of activities to support documentary filmmaking in Southeast Asia and to professionalize and unite varied local initiatives to make the missing voice of the region heard.

8

The project addresses independent documentary filmmakers, producers, film schools, T V stations and other relevant stakeholders and aims to create adequate conditions for the documentary film scene. By organizing various events, the project aims to promote networking within and outside of the region, to raise awareness for documentaries from Southeast Asia and to create a market which will give new talents from the region a professional perspective.
 Kicking off with a strategic seminar in Salaya, Bangkok in March 2012 to evaluate the current state of documentary in Southeast Asia, over 30 professionals and independent documentary filmmakers identified a few core issues of the region. In addition to the difficulty of finding funds, the two most pressing challenges were the lack of a supporting network among filmmakers from the region and the lack of a local audience.

DocNet’s first Summer School 2012 in Manila was the first step to create a network of young filmmakers from the region to help and inspire each other and battle the loneliness of a documentary filmmaker.

Now ChopShots, as a platform to showcase their films and establish connections to international professionals and festivals around the world, invites the wider public to enjoy the newest works of these filmmakers and get to know stories from neighbouring countries through the eyes of the filmmakers.

Follow our activities such as the DocNet Summer School, DocNet Campus and sign up for our database of Southeast Asian documentary filmmakers.

ASIA TENGGARA DocNet Asia Tenggara dengan bangga mempersembahkan edisi pertama ChopShots Documentary Film Festival Southeast Asia. Festival ini adalah puncak dari sederet kegiatan dalam rangka mendukung pembuatan film dokumenter di Asia Tenggara dan usaha menerapkan profesionalisme sembari menyatukan berbagai inisiatif lokal untuk memberi tempat bagi suara-suara yang nyaris tak terdengar dari berbagai wilayah.

Proyek ini ditujukan bagi para pembuat film independen, produser, sekolah film, stasiun televisi, dan berbagai pemangku kepentingan yang relevan dan bertujuan menciptakan kondisi yang cocok bagi scene film dokumenter. Dengan mengelola sejumlah kegiatan, proyek ini bertujuan melakukan promosi aktivitas berjejaring, baik di dalam maupun di luar wilayah Asia Tenggara, untuk memperkenalkan film-film dokumenter dari Asia Tenggara dan menciptakan pasar yang akan memberikan sudut pandang profesional bagi bakat-bakat baru dari wilayah tersebut.

Awalnya dimulai di Salaya, Bangkok, pada Maret 2012. Pada saat itu dibuat sebuah seminar strategis untuk melakukan evaluasi tentang situasi terkini dari film dokumenter di Asia Tenggara.

Lebih dari 30 pembuat film dokumenter profesional melakukan identifikasi masalah-masalah terpenting di wilayah mereka. Selain kesulitan pendanaan, kurangnya dukungan jejaring antar pembuat film dari negara yang bersangkutan dan juga kurangnya dukungan dari penonton lokal adalah dua tantangan yang paling menekan.

DocNet Summer School 2012 di Manila adalah langkah pertama untuk menciptakan jejaring pembuat film muda dari wilayah tersebut agar terjadi usaha saling menolong dan memberi inspirasi satu sama lain, juga mengatasi kesepian yang sering dialami para pembuat film dokumenter.

Kini ChopShots - sebagai sebuah platform untuk mempertunjukkan film-film mereka dan membuat jaringan dengan para profesional internasional serta berbagai festival di seluruh penjuru dunia mengundang khalayak luas untuk menikmati karya-karya paling mutakhir dari para pembuat film ini, untuk memahami berbagai kisah dari negeri tetangga lewat mata para pembuat filmnya.

Nargis – when time stopped breathing Nargis – when time stopped breathing // Directed by The Maw Naing, Pe Maung Same // Myanmar, Germany // 2008-2012 // 90 min // Original with English subtitles

In May 2008 the cyclone 'Nargis' raged for hours in Myanmar’s Ayeyarwaddy Delta, killing 140,000 people. Seven days after the storm, young Burmese filmmakers made their way – carefully, since filming was banned by the government – to villages that had been utterly devastated, and met people who had lost everything to the cyclone. They recorded scenes that touched them to the core, moving through a world that appeared more surreal than real, where life and death seemed to coexist. “Nargis – when time stopped breathing” is the very first feature length documentary film made by Burmese filmmakers.

Pada bulan May 2008, badai ‘Nargis’ mengamuk selama berjamjam di Delta Ayeyarwaddy, Myanmar, membunuh kurang lebih 140.000 jiwa. Tujuh hari setelah badai reda, para pembuat film Burma secara diam-diam (mengingat membuat film dilarang oleh pemerintah) melakukan perjalanan ke desa-desa yang telah hancur dan menemui orang-orang yang kehilangan segalanya akibat badai. Mereka merekam berbagai scene yang menyentuh, bergerak melewati sebuah dunia yang terkesan surealis di mana kehidupan dan kematian hadir berdampingan. “Nargis – when time stopped breathing” adalah film dokumenter panjang pertama yang dibuat para pembuat film asal Burma.

International Competition Kompetisi Internasional

Thirteen heavyweights are running in competition for the award for best featurelength documentary and a prize of EUR 5,000.

These films manage to dissect the social fabric of the culture they focus on with a long breath and a steady pace. The truths the filmmakers discover in their stories enlighten us about life in our age. Yes, the times they are a-changin’. But these truths go deeper than a mere rendering of facts. The stories they tell not only entertain but succeed in engaging the audience on a deeper emotional level. Whether

Tigabelas film kelas berat berkompetisi untuk meraih penghargaan sebagai film dokumenter panjang terbaik dan hadiah sebesar EUR 5.000.

Film-film ini berhasil melakukan analisa atas kontruksi sosial dari kebudayaan secara fokus lewat ritme yang konsisten dan panjang. Kebenaran yang disingkap oleh para pembuat film dalam kisah mereka, memberi pencerahan soal hidup di jaman ini.

Ya, waktu memang mengubah segalanya. Namun, kebenaran jauh lebih dalam dari sekedar menafsirkan fakta. Kisah-kisah yang mereka ceritakan tidak hanya menghibur tetapi juga berhasil menarik penonton pada lapisan emosi yang lebih dalam.

told with captivating cinematography, as in “The Tundra Book“, or in a seemingly relentless mode of documenting the last moments of a father’s life, as in “Ending Note – Death of a Japanese Salesman“, these films drive at a deeper truth.

Werner Herzog has coined the term ecstatic truth and simultaneously reserved it exclusively for his own films. However, every well-made documentary cultivates ecstatic truth: an insight that is almost diametrically opposed to the reality of fact-checking accountants, an insight that acute knowledge of the world is only possible through the sublime.

Baik lewat sinematografi yang menawan dalam “The Tundra Book“ ataupun lewat dokumentasi saat-saat terakhir kehidupan sang ayah yang rasanya begitu panjang dalam “Ending Note – Death of a Japanese Salesman“, film-film ini bekerja pada level kebenaran yang dalam. Werner Herzog menciptakan istilah ‘ecstatic truth’ dan secara terus-menerus menggunakannya dalam film-filmnya - bagaimanapun setiap film dokumenter yang dibuat dengan sebaik-baiknya menumbuhkan kebenaran yang ekstatis – sebuah pemahaman yang hampir berlawanan dengan kenyataan yang dibentuk oleh pemeriksaan atas fakta-fakta, sebuah pemahaman bahwa pengetahuan yang tajam akan dunia hanya termungkinkan oleh Yang Sublim.

Tondo, Beloved: To What Are the Poor Born?

Tundong Magiliw: Pasaan Isinisilang Siyang Mahirap? // Directed by Jewel Maranan // the philippines // 2012 // 76 min // Original with English subtitles

Virgie’s family feeds on the fishes that lurk under the industrial ships of North Harbor in Manila's international port. Their alternatives are packs of tasteless gelatine found in the same waters. Their entertainment comes from imagining stories behind DVD inlays of Hollywood films and a tabloid article on Hillary Clinton and a rat’s ass.

One morning the fish are dead, the sea is the colour of milk and the ships’ clanging is unusually bold; uncertainty is born on the same floor where they eat, blood is spilt in the same bowl where they clean fish and an old weary nation is revealed.

Jewel Maranan

Makanan utama keluarga Virgie adalah ikan-ikan yang hidup di bawah kapal-kapal industrial di galangan utara, di pelabuhan internasional Manila. Alternatif dari menu tersebut adalah gelatin tanpa rasa yang mereka temukan di perairan yang sama. Hiburan mereka dapatkan dari membayangkan cerita yang ada pada sampul belakang bungkus DVD film-film Hollywood dan artikel di tabloid mengenai Hillary Clinton dan pantat tikus. Suatu hari, mereka terbangun dan mendapati ikan-ikan telah mati, warna laut berubah sewarna susu dan suara besi-besi kapal berdentang lebih keras dari biasanya; ketidakpastian muncul dari tempat mereka makan, darah tumpah di mangkuk tempat mereka membersihkan ikan, dan keletihan sebuah negara yang renta pun terkuak.

The Land Beneath the Fog Negeri di Bawah Kabut // Directed by Shalahuddin Siregar // Indonesia, Germany // 2011 // 105 min // Original with English subtitles

In Genikan - a remote mountain village on the Merbabu slope in Central Java, a quiet community is facing change without understanding why it happens. Muryati and Sudardi, a farming couple in their thirties, try to understand why it rains more than during previous years. Meanwhile, 12 year old Arifin faces a different question: What does the future offer him? In the rhythm of a slow visual journey "The Land Beneath the Fog" takes an intimate look at family relations in Genikan. Describing a way of life on the brink of vanishing, this documentary offers deep insights into ‘an invisible and disenfranchised society’ struggling hard to maintain its existence.

Di Genikan, sebuah desa terpencil di kaki Gunung Merbabu (Jawa Tengah), sebuah komunitas kecil petani menghadapi perubahan tanpa benar-benar memahami alasannya. Muryati dan Sudardi adalah pasangan petani berusia 30-an yang mencoba memahami mengapa hujan turun lebih sering dibandingkan tahun-tahun sebelumnya.

Meanwhile in Mamelodi Meanwhile in Mamelodi // Directed by Benjamin Kahlmeyer // Germany // 2011 // 75 min // Original with English subtitles

Set against the raucous backdrop of the 2010 World Cup, "Meanwhile in Mamelodi" is a beautifully crafted portrait of a place and one family’s daily life inside it. The Mtsweni family lives in the Pretoria township Mamelodi, in the district known as E xtension 11. Their world is a ramshackle collection of corrugated tin dwellings and makeshift shops, open sewers littered with debris and red-earth rectangles filled with soccer-playing children and teens.

Despite the poverty all around, Mosquito, the family’s seventeen-year-old daughter insists this is not her parents’ country. She is the face of South Africa’s future – part of “a new generation free to do all things.”

Benjamin Kahlmeyer

Berlatar belakang keriuhan Piala Dunia 2010, "Meanwhile in Mamelodi" adalah potret menakjubkan dari sebuah tempat dan kehidupan sehari-hari sebuah keluarga di sana. Keluarga Mtsweni tinggal di wilayah Pretoria, Mamelodi, di sebuah distrik yang bernama Extension 11. Dunia mereka adalah kolase dari rumah-rumah beratap seng, kios-kios kecil nonpermanen, selokan-selokan kotor, dan sepetak tanah merah tempat anak-anak bermain sepak bola. Meskipun dikelilingi kemiskinan yang begitu gamblang, Mosquito, anak gadis Mtsweni yang berusia 17 tahun bersikeras bahwa orang tuanya bukan lagi generasi pemilik negeri ini; melainkan dialah bagian dari masa depan Afrika Selatan – bagian dari “generasi baru yang bebas melakukan apa saja”.

With or Without Me Trong hay ngoài tay em // Directed by Tran Phuong Thao, Swann Dubus // Vietnam // 2011 // 80 min // Original with English subtitles

Thi and Trung live in the gorgeous, rice-terraced mountains of Vietnam’s far northwest. Like many young men in this region on the main heroin route from Laos to China, they are addicts and HIV positive. While Thi wants to kick his habit, Trung just wants to die. "With or Without Me" is an intimate, tragicomic portrayal of two guys strung out at the edge of the map in a country struggling with drug abuse, and of their wives, families, doctors and friends trying to pull them back from the brink.

Thi dan Trung tinggal di sebuah desa indah yang dikelilingi oleh sawah-sawah dan pegunungan di utara Vietnam. Seperti banyak anak muda lain di wilayah yang menjadi bagian dari rute utama penjualan heroin dari Laos ke China ini, mereka adalah para pecandu dan positif mengidap HIV. Sementara Thi ingin mengakhiri kebiasaannya, Trung hanya ingin mati." With or Without Me" adalah gambaran yang intim dan tragis-komikal tentang dua laki-laki di pinggiran peta sebuah bangsa yang berjuang melawan penyalahgunaan obat-obatan; dan tentang para istri, keluarga, dokter, dan teman yang berusaha menarik mereka dari ambang kehancuran.

Golden Slumbers Le Sommeil d'or // Directed by Davy Chou // France-Cambodia // 2011 // 96 min // Original with English subtitles

Cambodian cinema flourished in the 1960s, drawing huge crowds to theatres around the country, until the industry was destroyed by the Khmer Rouges in 1975. Of the 400 films produced, only 30 remain today. Almost all the actors were killed during the reign of Pol Pot and only a few of the directors were able to flee the country. Most of the old movie theatres of Phnom Penh have become restaurants, karaoke clubs or squats. "Golden Slumbers" resurrects the myths and legends of this lost cinema.

Through survivors' stories and the search for remnants of their era in modern Phnom Penh, the film reveals the vital importance movies had for an entire generation, as well as the complex legacy they leave today's youth to inherit.

Davy Chou

Bagaimana cara membuat film tentang film-film yang telah hilang? Tahun 1960-an adalah era keemasan bagi sinema Kamboja dengan produksi film mencapai 400 judul. Masa keemasan ini berakhir pada 1975 ketika rezim Khmer Merah menghancurkan industri film dan hanya 30 film yang bertahan. "Golden Slumbers" adalah sebuah film dokumenter yang berusaha menghidupkan kembali berbagai mitos dan legenda yang melingkupi film-film yang hilang ini. Lewat ingatan para pelaku industri yang masih ada, sang pembuat film menggunakan imaji-imaji baru untuk menggantikan imaji-imaji yang telah hilang itu. Akankah ia berhasil mengisahkan kepada kita tentang pentingnya film bagi sebuah generasi? Untuk menghubungkan masa lalu dan masa kini dengan satu-satunya cara yang bisa dilakukan sebuah film?

Blush of Fruit Blush of Fruit // Directed by Jakeb Anhvu // Australia, Vietnam // 2012 // 93 min // Original with English subtitles

Tong Phuoc Phuc operates an orphanage in Nha Trang, central Vietnam. He persuades expectant mothers not to abort, promising them care and shelter. In return, the unwed mothers living at the orphanage must care for the many resident toddlers. After giving birth, they are free to move on, leaving their babies with Tong and his family. While praised by the country's Prime Minister and the media as a saviour of fallen women and their unwanted children, Tong's popularity and motives are overshadowed by allegations of profiteering and child neglect. This flyon-the-wall documentary gives an insight into the troubled life of the orphaned children of Nha Trang.

Jakeb Anhvu

Tong Phuoc Phuc mengelola sebuah panti asuhan di Nha Trang, Vietnam tengah. Ia membujuk para perempuan hamil untuk menghindari aborsi, menjanjikan tempat perlindungan dan perawatan kepada mereka. Sebagai gantinya, para ibu jabang bayi –yang tak menikah dan tinggal di panti asuhan ini– harus menjaga para balita lain yang tinggal di sana. Setelah melahirkan, mereka akan dibebaskan untuk pergi dan meninggalkan bayi mereka pada Tong dan keluarganya. Meskipun banyak dipuji oleh Perdana Menteri dan media sebagai penyelamat para perempuan yang tergelincir dalam dosa hamil di luar nikah beserta anak-anak mereka, kepopuleran Tong dibayang-bayangi tuduhan penipuan dan penelantaran anak. Lewat gaya khas direct cinema, film dokumenter ini memperkenalkan kepada kita kesukaran hidup balita-balita yatim yang tinggal di panti asuhan Nha Trang.

CHAR... the no-man's island CHAR... the no-man's island // Directed by Sourav Sarangi // India // 2012 // 86 min // Original with English subtitles

Meet Rubel, a fourteen-year-old boy smuggling rice from India to Bangladesh. Everyday he crosses the international border, the River Ganga, which eroded his home in mainland India when he was just four. Years later a fragile island called Char formed within the large river. Rubel’s family and many homeless people settled in this barren field controlled by border police. He dreams of going to his old school in India but reality forces him to smuggle rice and other goods to Bangladesh. While monsoon clouds announce a flood and the river swells up again, Rubel fights on: "Char may disappear but we won’t".

Mari mengenal Rubel; anak lelaki berusia 14 tahun yang merupakan penyelundup beras dari India ke Bangladesh. Setiap hari ia melintasi perbatasan internasional, Sungai Gangga, yang telah menghancurkan rumahnya di India daratan ketika ia masih berusia empat tahun. Bertahun-tahun kemudian, sebuah pulau kecil nan rapuh bernama Char terbentuk di tengah sungai yang lebar itu. Tanah tandus yang berada di bawah pengawasan tentara perbatasan itu adalah tempat keluarga Rubel dan banyak tunawisma lainnya tinggal. Rubel bermimpi untuk bisa kembali ke sekolah lamanya di India, tetapi realitas memaksanya untuk menyelundupkan beras dan berbagai barang lainnya ke Bangladesh. Ketika awan musim hujan membayangi Char dengan iming-iming banjir dan sungai yang meluap, Rubel harus berjuang: “Char boleh lenyap, tapi kita tidak.”

For 72 years, reindeer herder Vukvukai has been living in the depths of Chukotka. He is an old man full of energy and wisdom - a real man of the Tundra. His people take care of a huge herd, over 14,000 reindeer. Their life is a non-stop struggle for survival and well-being in the extremely harsh weather conditions of Chaun-Chukotka.

They deeply believe in the strength of tradition, which helps them overcome all obstacles. The ancient culture of the nomadic Chukchi takes care of them, so they preserve and follow it. For now Vukvukai’s realm remains stable – but with the young generation growing up a different world is dawning.

Vukvukai adalah peternak rusa yang telah 72 tahun tinggal di pedalaman Chukotka. Seorang lelaki tua bijaksana yang penuh energi, Vukvukai adalah sosok lelaki tundra tulen. Ia dan para kerabatnya menjaga sebuah kelompok gembalaan yang sangat besar, dengan lebih dari 14.000 ekor rusa. Hidup para lelaki tundra ini adalah perjuangan tanpa henti untuk bertahan hidup sebaikbaiknya di tengah cuaca keras Chaun-Chukotka. Mereka sangat percaya pada kekuatan tradisi, yang menolong mereka melewati berbagai macam tantangan. Kebudayaan kuno nomadik Chukchi telah menjaga mereka, maka sebagai gantinya mereka pun memelihara dan mengikutinya. Saat ini, dunia Vukvukai berjalan tenteram – namun, seiring dengan generasi muda yang beranjak tumbuh, dunia yang berbeda pun siap menyingsing.

Death of a Japanese Salesman エンディングノート // Directed by Mami Sunada // japan // 2011 // 90 min // Original with English subtitles

Like the title character in Arthur Miller's play, Tomoaki Sunada was once work-obsessed; now his career is over and thoughts turn to family. Recently retired, Tomoaki is diagnosed with terminal cancer. A practical man, he starts to organise his death: a visit to the priest, a funeral plan and a list of things he'd like to do before he goes - his "end-of-life journal". His filmmaker daughter Mami follows his final months. A prize winner at both the Dubai and Chicago International Film Festivals, and acclaimed by critics at home, this is a pragmatic yet immensely moving tribute to the end of a life.

Sang pembuat film yang merupakan anak perempuannya, Mami, mengikuti Tomoaki dalam bulan-bulan terakhirnya.

SEA Best Shorts Film-Film Pendek Asia Tenggara

In this section we devote ourselves entirely to the region of Southeast Asia. 21 films compete for the two awards of 3000 and 1500 Euro for Best Southeast Asian Short Film. We have loosely grouped the films together in different programs that help us bring closer the region through the prisms that define the cultural history, identity and reality of this part of the world. “Out of the Past“ showcases films that deal with memory, history and trauma from Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia.

“Death and Beyond“ is an interesting look at how we deal with the loss of loved ones, how the dead still have rights to their history, their identity, their name, and the truth about their cause of death. “Man and Nature“ looks at the ever-changing ecological landscape, threats, disasters or simply life as a fisherman on the sea, something that unites all Southeast Asian countries with the exception of landlocked Laos. “People Power“, the title speaks for itself. Unfortunately our space and slots at the festival are limited and we had a multitude of films that deal with

this subject of people rising up against injustice, against their own governments, against powerful companies. We screen two films here that both come from the region. “Election Time!“ combines films from the Philippines and Indonesia that show how democracy works on the grassroots level. In “Gender Stories“ we tackle what until very recently was still taboo: the life of gay and lesbian people in Asia. Last but not least, we devote a whole program entitled “Voices from Myanmar“ to a country that only recently opened up and rid itself of draconian press and censorship laws, making documentary storytelling possible.

Di bagian ini kami mempersembahkan diri seutuhnya pada wilayah Asia Tenggara.

Dua puluh satu film berkompetisi untuk meraih dua penghargaan Film Pendek Terbaik Asia Tenggara berupa hadiah sejumlah EUR 3000 dan EUR 1500. Kami mengelompokkan beberapa film bersama dalam program yang berbeda untuk memudahkan kita membawa negara-negara ini lebih dekat lewat prisma yang membentuk sejarah budaya, identitas, dan kenyataan di belahan dunia ini. “Out of the Past“ menampilkan film-film yang bicara soal ingatan, sejarah, dan trauma dari Vietnam, Kamboja, dan Indonesia. “Death and Beyond“ adalah cara pandang yang menarik dalam mengatasi kehilangan orang-orang tercinta, bagaimana yang mati masih memiliki hak atas sejarah, identitas, nama, dan kebenaran akan penyebab kematian mereka. “Man and Nature“ melihat lanskap ekologi yang terus berubah; ancaman, bencana alam, ataupun sekedar kehidupan para nelayan di lautan, hal yang menyatukan negara-negara Asia Tenggara dengan pengecualian Laos (yang melulu dikelilingi daratan). “People Power“, judul itu sudah bicara dengan sendirinya, bukan? Amat disayangkan bahwa kita memiliki keterbatasan ruang dan slot dalam

festival ini, padahal kami menerima cukup banyak film yang berurusan dengan tema bangkitnya rakyat melawan ketidakadilan, pemerintah, maupun perusahaan yang mempunyai kekuasaan besar. Kami hanya memutar dua film dari wilayah ini. “Election Time!“ menggabungkan film-film dari Filipina dan Indonesia untuk memperlihatkan bagaimana demokrasi bekerja pada lapisan akar rumput. Dalam “Gender Stories“ kami menghadirkan tema-tema yang masih sering dianggap tabu: kehidupan kaum gay dan lesbian di Asia. Kami juga mempersembahkan sebuah program utuh berjudul “Voices from Myanmar“ untuk negara yang baru saja membuka diri terhadap dunia luar dan menyingkirkan tirani dalam dunia pers dan aturan sensor yang membuat penceritaan lewat film dokumenter jadi mungkin.

Above all, the aim of this section is to highlight both the shared cultural identities as well as the differences of the various Southeast Asian nations and ultimately bring them closer together in the process of sharing these engaging stories.

Di atas segalanya, tujuan dari program-program ini adalah untuk menandai baik persamaan maupun perbedaan identitas budaya yang ada di negara-negara Asia Tenggara dan pada akhirnya mendekatkan mereka secara bersama dalam proses berbagi kisah-kisah yang menarik ini.

The Story of Ones ChuyÊ. n mO. i nhà // Directed by Pham Ngoc Lan // Vietnam // 2011 // 9 min // Original with English subtitles

"The Story of Ones" gives a face and a sense of place to the unseen and offers a personal counterpoint to the officially sanctioned. Like entering a roomful of stories, the viewer steps into an unfamiliar space guided only by the sound of the Vietnamese state radio tuning in to lifestyle programming, call-in shows and radio dramas.

Portraits of daily life are layered atop the aural landscape creating questions and humorous situations and offering the viewer whole new perspectives on what once seemed normal.

Pham Ngoc Lan

"The Story of Ones" memberikan wajah dan nuansa ruang pada yang tak terlihat dan menawarkan sebuah perlawanan pribadi terhadap hal yang telah membumi. Layaknya memasuki sebuah ruang yang sarat cerita, penonton memasuki ruang yang tak akrab dan hanya dipandu oleh suara dari radio nasional Vietnam dalam program gaya hidup, telepon pemirsa, dan drama radio. Serangkaian potret kehidupan sehari-hari melapisi sebuah panorama yang bersifat aural, menciptakan pertanyaan-pertanyaan dan situasi humor seraya menawarkan pada penonton sebuah sudut pandang baru atas apa yang terlihat biasa.

Love Letter to the Soldier Surat Cinta Kepada Sang Prada // Directed by Wenda Tokomonowir // INDONESIA // 2011 // 7 min // Original with English subtitles

"Love Letter to the Soldier" is a video letter from a Papuan woman to an Indonesian soldier who was once based in her village on the PNG-Indonesian border, begging him to return to meet their three-year-old daughter: "I will continue to wait for you, Samsul. I don't care what people say." Samsul had courted Maria Goreti Mekiw, visiting her house every day and giving gifts of biscuits and milk until the two started a relationship.

Back then Maria was a high school student and the TNI soldier seemed ‘polite and kind’. But instead of marrying her as Maria had expected, Samsul left when she was five months pregnant and has not been in touch since.

Wenda Tokomonowir

"Love Letter to the Soldier" adalah sebuah surat video dari seorang perempuan Papua kepada seorang prajurit Indonesia yang pernah ditempatkan di desanya, di perbatasan Indonesia-Papua New Guinea (PNG). Ia meminta sang prajurit kembali dan menemui putri mereka yang kini berusia tiga tahun: “Eti akan terus menunggu Kak Samsul, tidak peduli orang bilang apa.” Samsul, sang prajurit yang merayu Maria Goreti Mekiw, dulu sering mengunjungi rumahnya dengan membawa biskuit dan susu sebagai hadiah sebelum akhirnya mereka menjalin hubungan. Saat itu, Maria masih duduk di bangku SMA, terpesona pada sang prajurit TNI yang tampak ‘baik dan sopan’. Namun, alih-alih menikah seperti yang Maria harapkan, Samsul pergi ketika ia baru lima bulan mengandung dan hingga kini tak terdengar lagi kabarnya.

The war has long been over, but it lives on in the people who lived through it. The filmmakers went out to look for the traces and memories of war in the small community of Da Nang. There, each person has a different story of war, which still influences their everyday life.

Just beneath the surface of daily routines lie stories of revolutionary activities, of imprisonment and torture, of soldiers who switched to the other side...

Perang telah lama usai, tetapi ia masih hidup dalam kehidupan beberapa orang yang mengalaminya. Sang pembuat film mencari jejak-jejak dan ingatan mengenai perang di sebuah komunitas kecil di Da Nang. Di sana, tiap orang memiliki kisah yang berbeda mengenai perang yang masih mempengaruhi kehidupan sehari-hari mereka. Di bawah permukaan kehidupan seharihari yang monoton, terdapat kisah-kisah mengenai aktivitas revolusioner mereka dulu; tentang pemenjaraan, penyiksaan, dan para prajurit yang berpindah pihak.

my navel is buried in the sea gilubong ang akon pusod sa dagat // Directed by Martha Atienza // The Philippines // 2011 // 32 min // Original with English subtitles

"my navel is buried in the sea" focuses on the fishermen and seafarers from Bantayan Island, The Philippines. The film attempts to capture the significance and mystery of the sea to the millions of Filipinos who derive their living from it, thus giving shape to a reality which is rarely seen. Life at sea is shown from various viewpoints, contrasting the fishermen to their counterparts, professional seamen. Their creative homemade diving equipment diverges from the heavy machinery used by the seafarers. Yet there are parallels which blur their differences – the extraordinary sights they witness in or on the sea, the constancy of the horizon.

"my navel is buried in the sea" adalah film dokumenter yang berpusat pada kehidupan para pelaut di Pulau Bantayan, Filipina.

Film ini mencoba menangkap misteri dan makna lautan bagi jutaan rakyat Filipina yang sumber penghidupannya berasal dari situ; memberi wujud pada realitas yang jarang terlihat.

Kehidupan di lautan diperlihatkan melalui berbagai sudut pandang, membandingkan para nelayan dengan para pelaut profesional yang bekerja di kapal-kapal besar. Peralatan selam buatan tangan para nelayan ini, uniknya, berbeda dari peralatan berat para pelaut modern tersebut. Namun, ada kesamaan yang mengaburkan perbedaan-perbedaan mereka: cakrawala yang konstan, yang ada di atas kemolekan pemandangan yang mereka temukan di bawah maupun di permukaan laut.

"Unbounded Unlimited" is about the freedom people have who are suffering from mental illness. Usually it isn’t easy for people to speak out about what they really feel.

They have to consider the norms and rules society imposes on them and decide whether to say certain things or not. In contrast, people who are suffering from mental illness speak their mind and are not constrained to bending their truth according to society’s verdict. These people can speak out without restraint. They can feel a taste of freedom that others cannot.

"Unbounded Unlimited" bicara soal kebebasan yang dimiliki para pesakitan. Biasanya, tidaklah mudah bagi orang untuk membicarakan apa yang mereka rasakan.

On September 23rd 2010, some settlers stood up for their right to the city: The North Triangle community put up a barricade that forced the police and demolition crew to retreat. The documentary introduces us to the women and workers behind this spontaneous resistance, and shows how these settlers, sometimes derogatorily called "squatters," live their life in dignity and learn to organize themselves in the heart of a city that reserves no place for them.

Film dokumenter ini memperkenalkan kepada kita para perempuan dan pekerja di balik perlawanan serta-merta ini; memperlihatkan bagaimana para penduduk yang sering dijuluki secara merendahkan sebagai ‘penyelundup’ ini menjalani hidup mereka dengan penuh harga diri dan belajar mengorganisasi diri mereka sendiri di tengah jantung kota yang tak memberi mereka tempat sama sekali.

Fight Like Ahok Jadi Jagoan ala Ahok // Directed by Amelia Hapsari, Chandra Tanzil // Indonesia // 2012 // 38 min // Original with English subtitles

In 2009, after more than 10 years of democratization in Indonesia, elections are still plagued with money politics and nepotism. In the remote island of Belitung, Ahok is campaigning to win a seat in the parliament, without having a lot of money for bribes or billboards. But that is not the only challenge Ahok has to face. How can he win supporters being part of a minority in the mainly Muslim community? "Fight Like Ahok" follows a politician’s journey trying to overcome rampant money politics and ethnic and religious sentiments, in addition to plenty of other obstacles in his way.

Pada tahun 2009, setelah lebih dari 10 tahun demokratisasi di Indonesia, pemilihan umum masih digelayuti oleh politik suap dan nepotisme.

Namun, itu bukan satu-satunya tantangan Ahok. Bagaimana ia bisa memenangkan hati para calon pendukung, sementara ia adalah bagian dari minoritas di sebuah komunitas besar Muslim? "Fight Like Aho"k mengikuti perjalanan seorang politisi dalam mencapai cita-cita politiknya di tengah kuatnya politik suap dan sentimen etnis-agama, di samping tentu saja tantangan-tantangan lain yang harus ia hadapi.

SEA Best Shorts // Election Time!

Stage Entablado // Directed by Emil James Mijares // The Philippines // 2011 // 30 min // Original with English subtitles

2010 was an important election year in the Philippines.

The “entablado” or stage is the politicians’ tool for gathering large crowds in a community to present their political platform. Entablado looks into the lives of people who depend on the informal economy brought about by Philippine elections and shows how poor people, in times of election, hope to earn a meagre income even for just a short period of time. Revealing the struggles of the common people amidst the glitters and promises of a political candidate's stage show, the film takes a look behind the façade of glamour.

Emil James Mijares

2010 adalah tahun penting bagi pemilihan umum di Filipina.

‘Entablado’ atau panggung adalah alat para politikus untuk mengumpulkan massa guna menyampaikan programprogram politik mereka. Stage memperlihatkan pada kita kehidupan orang-orang yang bergantung pada proses ekonomi informal, yang muncul sebagai akibat dari pemilihan umum di Filipina. Bagaimana rakyat miskin ini, di saatsaat pemilihan umum, berharap mendapatkan pendapatan sekecil apa pun, bahkan meski hanya dalam periode waktu yang pendek. Mengungkap perjuangan orang-orang biasa di tengah janji-janji para kandidat politik di panggung, film ini mencoba melihat ke balik gemerlap panggung.

Retrospective: SEA Documents Restropektif: SEA Documents

Southeast Asia is known for its diversity of cultures, religions, ethnicities and its turbulent political history. However, the nations of the region do share an incredible amount of culture and history in their struggles as well as in the blossoming of independent nation states in the sense of "same same but different". Yet these shared moments or identities have so far not been in the spotlight, and intercultural exchange among ASEAN member states is only slowly heating up. So, “What do we actually know about society, history and the struggle of people in our neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia? And what binds us together?”. This retrospective takes on the challenge and attempts to change this situation. Seven must-see

documentaries from and about Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam will give some insights into seminal events of these countries’ histories, tell about conflicts and natural catastrophes that the people have gone through and portray people’s lives there. These films not only take the audience on a journey through Southeast Asia, but they also mark an important development of documentary film in each country and represent the best films that have been produced in or about these countries in recent years!

Come with us on a journey through Southeast Asia and you will see it like you have never seen it before!

Asia Tenggara terkenal dengan keragaman budaya, agama, etnis, dan ketegangan sejarah politiknya. Namun, negara-negara di wilayah ini berbagi sejumlah karateristik budaya dan sejarah dalam konteks ‘serupa tapi tak sama’, terutama yang berhubungan dengan terbentuk serta menyebarnya ide-ide mengenai kemerdekaan.

Sayangnya karateristik yang dibagi ini jarang menjadi fokus utama dan pertukaran antar budaya diantara negara anggota ASEAN terjadi dengan begitu lamban. Apakah yang sebenarnya kita ketahui mengenai masyarakat, sejarah, dan perjuangan dari negara-negara tetangga kita di Asia Tenggara? Apa yang menyatukan kita bersama? Program restropektif ini mencoba menjawab tantangan ini dalam rangka mengubah situasi tersebut. Tujuh film dokumenter yang perlu ditonton dari dan

tentang Kamboja, Laos, Indonesia, Myanmar, Filipina, Thailand, dan Vietnam akan memberikan pemahaman tentang berbagai peristiwa penting dalam sejarah tiap negara tersebut, mengisahkan konflik-konflik dan berbagai bencana alam yang telah dialami dan potret kehidupan orang-orang yang tinggal di sana. Film-film ini tidak hanya membawa para penonton ke sebuah perjalanan melintasi Asia Tenggara, tetapi juga menandai perkembangan penting dari genre dokumenter di tiap negara tersebut dan menampilkan film-film terbaik dari maupun yang diproduksi di negaranegara ini dalam beberapa tahun belakangan.

Mari bergabung bersama kami dalam perjalanan menempuh Asia Tenggara dan anda akan menyaksikan sesuatu yang tak pernah anda saksikan sebelumnya!

The Story of Kindness ¸ Chuyê. n Tu' Tʈ // Directed by Tran Van Thuy // Vietnam // 1987 // 43 min // Original with English subtitles Dying of cancer, the cameraman Dong Xuan Thuyet asks his friends to make a film on the subject of “tu-te” – human relations, fraternity or, simply, kindness. Thus charged, the filmmakers explore the realities behind the nationalistic slogans to reveal troubling scenes of Vietnamese life.

Curator ' s Statement »“Story of Kindness” is a very rare Vietnamese film produced before Vietnam's socialist subsidy period ended in the late 1980s, but not catering to the usual official propaganda lines.

Tran Van Thuy, was working within the state-controlled film system, yet he was so brave to the extent of risking his own security to make a film that forcefully pursued the truth.

Although the film was produced as long as 27 years ago, it still hasn't lost its edge and relevance today, especially as the Vietnamese society is once again going through a turbulent period of transition.« Thi Nguyen for Vietnam

Sekarat karena kanker, penata kamera Dong Xuan Thuyet meminta kawannya untuk membuat film mengenai “tu-te” (hubungan antarmanusia atau persaudaraan, atau bisa berarti kebaikan).

Atas permintaan itu, para pembuat film ini melakukan eksplorasi atas realitas di balik slogan-slogan nasionalis untuk mengungkap kehidupan masyarakat Vietnam. »"Story of Kindness" adalah sebuah produksi langka Vietnam sebelum periode sosialis Vietnam berakhir pada tahun 1980-an; film yang bukan merupakan kerja propaganda. Tran Van Thuy, bekerja dalam sebuah sistem yang dikontrol penuh oleh pemerintah.

Meskipun begitu, ia sedemikian beraninya hingga sampai pada taraf membahayakan keselamatan dirinya demi membuat film yang menguak sebuah kebenaran. Meskipun film ini dibuat 27 tahun lalu, ia masih tidak kehilangan ketajaman serta relevansinya hari ini, terutama saat masyarakat Vietnam sekali lagi mengalami masa transisi yang penuh guncangan.« Thi Nguyen for Vietnam

The Khmer Rouge ran what is regarded as one of the twentieth century’s most brutal regimes. Investigative journalist Thet Sambath is on a personal quest: he lost his own family in the Killing Fields. The film is his journey to discover not how but why they died.

Curator ' s Statement »One of the most harrowing and compelling personal documentaries of our time, “Enemies of the People” sets out to expose the truth about the Killing Fields and the Khmer Rouge who were behind Cambodia’s genocide. This is a riveting film that takes audiences as close to witnessing evil as they are ever likely to get. And above all, it is a personal journey of filmmaker Thet Sambath, whose family was wiped out in the Killing Fields.« Marc Eberle for Cambodia

Hingga kini, ketika jurnalis investigasi Thet Sambath menjalankan sebuah agenda pribadi: ia sendiri kehilangan keluarganya di medan pembantaian.

Nargis – when time stopped breathing Nargis – when time stopped breathing // Directed by The Maw Naing, Pe Maung Same // Myanmar, Germany // 2008-2012 // 90 min // Original with English subtitles

In May 2008 the cyclone 'Nargis' raged for hours in Myanmar’s Ayeyarwaddy Delta, killing 140,000 people. Seven days after the storm, young Burmese filmmakers made their way – carefully, since filming was banned by the government – to villages that had been utterly devastated, and met people who had lost everything to the cyclone.

Pada bulan May 2008, badai ‘Nargis’ mengamuk selama berjam-jam di Delta Ayeyarwaddy, Myanmar, membunuh kurang lebih 140.000 jiwa. Tujuh hari setelah badai reda, para pembuat film Burma secara diam-diam (mengingat membuat film dilarang oleh pemerintah) melakukan perjalanan ke desa-desa yang telah hancur dan menemui orang-orang yang kehilangan segalanya akibat badai.

Curator ' s Statement »"Nargis – when time stopped breathing" is the first feature length documentary film ever made by Burmese filmmakers.

The poetic and aesthetic images of the film do not reveal that they had to be taken clandestinely in a zone that was closed and restricted by the Burmese military government. Although being screened in 16 international festivals, the film could only be shown in Burma in 2012, at Wathann Film Festival, where the filmmakers themselves presented the film for the first Ulrike Schaz for Myanmar time – with their real names.«

»"Nargis – when time stopped breathing" adalah film dokumenter panjang pertama hasil karya pembuat film asal Burma. Citraan puitis dan estetis dalam film ini tidak memperlihatkan kesulitan pengambilan gambarnya, yang dilakukan sembunyi-sembunyi di sebuah wilayah berbahaya yang ditutup dan dijaga oleh pihak pemerintahan militer Burma. Meskipun telah dipertontonkan di sebanyak 16 festival internasional, film ini baru diputar di Burma tahun 2012, yakni di Wathann Film Festival 2012, tempat untuk pertama kalinya para pembuat film ini menunjukkan diri mereka dengan identitas asli Ulrike Schaz for Myanmar mereka masing-masing.«

In the post-Suharto regime that has seen the growth of an emergent independence movement in West Papua, this film chronicles the drama of an indigenous people and their youth, whose cultural identity and livelihoods remain marginal to the Indonesian nation-state.

Di era pascarezim Suharto yang menyaksikan pertumbuhan gerakan kemerdekaan di Papua Barat, film ini mengisahkan drama orangorang pribumi, kaum muda yang identitas budaya dan kehidupannya masih marjinal bagi negara Indonesia.

Curator ' s Statement »This film intimately depicts the very optimistic Lukas.

He pursues a brighter future by investing in fisheries. But he finds many obstacles on his way. “Lukas’ Moment” doesn’t portray the stereotype of the uneducated and poor Papuan but shows his will to grow and move forward.

The outstanding technical quality, the natural subject and observational approach made this film a milestone of Indonesian documentary.« Damar Ardi for Indonesia

»Film ini menggambarkan secara intim sosok Lukas yang sangat optimis. Ia menabung untuk masa depannya lewat usaha penangkapan ikan. Namun, ia menemukan banyak rintangan mengadang.

“Lukas’ Moment” menolak menggambarkan sosok klise tentang pemuda Papua yang miskin dan tak berpendidikan, alih-alih memperlihatkan kemampuannya untuk tumbuh dan berkembang maju.

Kualitas teknis yang luar biasa, subyeknya yang alamiah, dan pendekatan observasional yang dilakukannya menjadikan film ini sebuah penanda dalam panorama film dokumenter Indonesia.« Damar Ardi for Indonesia

Riles Life on the Tracks // Directed by Ditsi Carolino // The Phillipines // 2002 // 70 min // Original with English subtitles

Ditsi Carolino's powerful verite film exposes the claustrophobic world of Eddie, Pen and their five children, who live in a shanty along the railway tracks of Balic-Balic.

Curator ' s Statement »Ditsi Carolino’s devotion to her craft, immersion in the environs of her subjects, and above all her compassionate gaze at society's deprived and marginalized citizens - all come together in “Riles” (made with her long-time collaborator Nana Buxani). This is her breakthrough film, made while she was on a study grant at England's National Film and Television School.

It fuses both film art and socially committed filmmaking in a compelling way. Her empathy for the plight of the family depicted in “Riles” is emotionally transposed to the viewer not just to elicit sympathy, but to compel him into taking a stand or making a move in order to make a difference in the lives of the oppressed and the downtrodden.« Teddy Co for the Philippines

Ditsi Carolino

Dalam sebuah film dokuemnter yang meneruskan tradisi sinema verite ini, Ditsi Carolino menampilkan dunia klaustrofobik Eddie, Pen, dan lima anak mereka, yang tinggal di sebuah pondok kecil di tepi rel kereta Balic-Balic. »Komitmen Ditsi Carolino terhadap karyanya, dengan sepenuh hati menenggelamkan diri pada lingkungan subyeknya dan, di atas semuanya, cara pandangnya yang penuh simpati pada kaum marjinal dalam masyarakat – semua tergabung dalam “Riles” (yang dibuat bersama kolaborator andalannya, Nana Buxani). Dibuat ketika ia belajar dengan dana bantuan dari England’s National Film and Television School, ini adalah sebuah karya yang sukses menggabungkan tradisi film seni dan komitmen sosial dalam pembuatan film dengan cara yang tak terduga. Empatinya terhadap penderitaan keluarga yang ia gambarkan dalam “Riles”, secara emosional tersampaikan kepada penonton tidak hanya untuk menumbuhkan simpati, tetapi juga mendorong mereka untuk bangkit dan bergerak demi membuat perubahan bagi mereka yang tertindas dan menjadi korban.«

Ditsi Carolino

mempelajari Sosiologi di University of Philippines dan penyutradaraan dokumenter di National Film and Television School, UK. Film kelulusannya "Riles - Life on the Tracks" memenangkan beberapa penghargaan. Ia sekarang tinggal di Manila, mengerjakan tiga proyek film dokumenter panjangnya.

China Heavyweight China Heavyweight // Directed by Yung Chang // China / Canada // 2012 // 89 min // Chinese, Sichuanese with English subtitles

In central China, a Master coach recruits poor rural teenagers and turns them into western-style boxing champions. Through hard work and discipline, these boys and girls come of age, trained in the art of boxing and the game of life. They are filled with Olympic dreams, hoping to become China's next amateur heroes.

But the pull of professionalism also weighs upon their shoulders. The top student boxers face dramatic choices as they graduate - should they fight for the collective good as amateurs or for themselves and their own personal gain as professionals? It's a metaphor for the choices that everyone faces now, in the new China.

Di Cina tengah, seorang pelatih master merekrut para remaja pinggiran kota yang miskin dan mengubah mereka menjadi para juara tinju gaya Barat. Lewat kerja keras dan disiplin, para pemuda dan pemudi ini tumbuh dewasa dalam keadaan terlatih dalam seni permainan dalam dunia tinju dan dalam hidup. Mereka bermimpi tentang Olimpiade, berharap menjadi pahlawan amatir Cina selanjutnya. Namun, beban profesionalisme juga membebani mereka. Beberapa murid paling hebat di sasana tinju ini menghadapi pilihan dramatis menjelang kelulusan – haruskah mereka bertanding atas nama kebaikan kolektif secara amatir atau demi diri sendiri sebagai profesional? Ini adalah metafora tentang pilihan-pilihan yang dihadapi semua orang saat ini di Cina yang baru.

Planet of Snail Planet of Snail // Directed by Yi Seung-Jun // South Korea // 2011 // 87 min // korean with English subtitles

Young-Chan often describes himself as a ‘snail’ since he has to rely only on his tactile senses, just as slowly as a snail, to communicate with others. Being unable to speak or hear, he once believed he had been singled out from the world. But an angel of a woman walks into his life. Soon-Ho, an empathetic woman who herself suffers from a spinal disability, changes his life dramatically.

Being married to her, he explores the things he can neither see nor hear. Gentle and poetic, "Planet of Snail" tells a love story like no other.

Young-Chan sering kali menyebut dirinya sendiri sebagai ‘siput’, mengingat ia banyak menggantungkan hidup pada indra perabanya, nyaris selambat siput, untuk berkomunikasi dengan orang lain. Tanpa kemampuan mendengar ataupun bicara, ia percaya bahwa ia telah terasingkan dari dunia. Namun, seorang perempuan masuk dalam kehidupannya bak seorang malaikat. Soon-Ho sendiri adalah seorang perempuan empatik dengan cacat tulang belakang yang mengubah hidupnya. Menikahi Soon-Ho, Young-Chan menjelajahi hal-hal yang tak bisa ia lihat maupun dengar.

Dengan pelan dan puitis, "Planet of Snail" menceritakan sebuah kisah cinta yang tak biasa.

Yi Seung-Jun Seung-jun Yi is a Korea-based documentary director. He has produced numerous documentaries for Korean T V networks.

5 Broken Cameras 5 Broken Cameras // Directed by Emad Burnat, Guy Davidi // Palestine, Israel, France, Netherlands // 2011 // 90 min // Hebrew, Arabic with English subtitles

An extraordinary work of both cinematic and political activism, "5 Broken Cameras" is a deeply personal, first-hand account of non-violent resistance in Bil’in, a West Bank village threatened by encroaching Israeli settlements. Shot almost entirely by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat, who bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son, the film was assembled by Burnat and Israeli co-director Guy Davidi. Structured around the violent destruction of each one of Burnat’s cameras, the filmmakers’ collaboration follows one family’s evolution over five years of village turmoil.

Sebuah karya luar biasa, baik dalam hal sinematik maupun aktivisme politik, "5 Broken Cameras" adalah sebuah kesaksian personal dari tangan pertama tentang perlawanan tanpa kekerasan di Bil’in, sebuah desa di wilayah barat Sungai Yordan yang diancam oleh pendudukan Israel yang mendekat. Dibuat seutuhnya oleh seorang petani Palestina, Emad Burnat, yang membeli kamera pertamanya pada tahun 2005 untuk merekam kelahiran putra pertamanya, film ini disunting oleh Burnat dan ko-sutradara Guy Davidi. Lewat kisah tentang penghancuran tiap kamera yang dimiliki Burnat, kolaborasi pembuatan film ini mengikuti kisah perkembangan sebuah keluarga dalam lima tahun konflik di desa mereka.

The Filmmaker’s Journey Perjalanan Sang Pembuat Film

The world is changing and challenging what used to be our standard perspectives of the West and the East. This program will show how both tell their stories and even learn from one another. See how the economic crisis affected people's lives in Iceland, observe the unique democratic process of an election in the Philippines, and witness the journey of Indonesian lesbians discovering their place in the world or the journey of young women of Iranian descent visiting their homeland to learn about their roots. There's also the journey of Olivier Assayas, a well known French filmmaker, who follows the Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiau-Hsien as he

returns to the cities all over Taiwan where he made his famous films. It is as bitter as a separation of a couple in the streets of Brazil and as sweet as the struggle of the Thai cheerleaders in the world competition. The past is revisited in two documentaries, one by a Vietnamese filmmaker and another one by an Australian filmmaker on the nascent media industry in East Timor. And last but not least, the personal journey of a Thai filmmaker to coming to terms with his mother’s suicide through an attempt to blend fiction and documentary. So, open your mind and enjoy the ride!

Dunia sedang berubah, banyak hal baru menantang perspektif standar kita terhadap nilai-nilai dunia Barat dan Timur. Program ini akan memperlihatkan bagaimana kedua dunia ini menceritakannya dan bahkan saling belajar satu sama lain. Dimulai dari bagaimana krisis ekonomi mempengaruhi kehidupan masyarakat di Iceland hingga proses demokrasi yang unik pada sebuah pemilu di Filipina. Anda akan menjadi saksi perjalanan sekelompok lesbian asal Indonesia menemukan tempat mereka di dunia ini dan perjalanan perempuan muda keturunan Iran mencari tahu mengenai asal usulnya di tanah kelahirannya. Ada juga perjalanan seorang pembuat film terkenal asal Perancis, Olivier Assayas, mengikuti sutradara Taiwan Hou

Hsiau-Hsien kembali ke berbagai kota di Taiwan tempat ia membuat film-filmnya yang terkenal. Perjalanan ini sepahit perpisahan pasangan suami istri yang terjadi di jalanan Brazil dan semanis perjuangan kelompok cheer leader asal Thailand di kejuaraan dunia. Masa lalu yang belum lama lewat, kembali hadir melalui dua buah dokumenter, karya pembuat film asal Vietnam serta karya pembuat film asal Australia mengenai industri media yang baru lahir di Timor Leste. Dan sebuah perjalanan personal seorang pembuat film Thailand untuk berdamai dengan usaha bunuh diri ibunya melalui sebuah upaya membuat persilangan antara fiksi dan dokumenter. Jadi, bukalah pikiran Anda dan nikmati perjalanan ini!

Iceland Year Zero Iceland année zéro // Directed by Sigurður Hallmar Magnússon, Armande Chollat-Namy // Czech Republic, Iceland, France // 2012 // 52 min // Original with English subtitles

In October 2008, the three main banks in Iceland collapsed, driving a nation into bankruptcy, causing thousands of people to lose their jobs, their personal savings − and their hope. How does a nation, once one of the richest and most developed countries in the capitalist world, react to total economic collapse? In a landscape where “to be rich” used to be a virtue, who is really to blame for the collapse of a far-too-fast-and-greedy banking system? Or is the decline of capitalist values maybe the best thing that could have happened to Iceland?

Pada Oktober 2008, tiga bank besar di Islandia mengalami kebangkrutan yang dengan segera mendorong negara tersebut ke nasib yang sama. Hal ini menyebabkan ribuan orang kehilangan pekerjaan mereka, sekaligus simpanan, dan juga harapan mereka.

Bagaimana sebuah negara yang dianggap sebagai salah satu negara terkaya dan berkembang di dunia kapitalis bereaksi terhadap kehancuran ekonomi sebesar ini? Di tempat di mana ‘menjadi kaya’ dianggap sebagai kebaikan, siapa yang harus disalahkan atas kehancuran yang terlalu cepat dan kerakusan dari sistem perbankan mereka? Atau, jangan-jangan kejatuhan nilai-nilai kapitalis justru hal terbaik yang bisa terjadi pada Islandia.

It is a portrait of the complicated, fragile, painful and realistic relationship between the filmmaker and his mother, who once tried to commit suicide.

Ever since the incident, his family has never been the same. Attempting to understand his family, his mother and himself, the filmmaker also raises questions about society. What is a Thai family?

What are its complexities? What is reality and what are the illusions of a family?

"Mother" membaurkan fiksi dan dokumenter. Sebuah gambaran yang rumit, rentan, menyakitkan, dan nyata akan hubungan antara sang pembuat film dan ibunya yang pernah mencoba bunuh diri. Sejak kejadian tersebut, keluarganya tak pernah lagi sama. Berusaha memahami keluarganya, ibunya, dan dirinya sendiri, sang pembuat film juga mempertanyakan masyarakat. Seperti apakah keluarga Thailand seharusnya, lengkap dengan segala kerumitannya?

Provincial Politics Provincial Politics // Directed by George Clipp // The Philippines // 2011 // 9 min // Original with English subtitles

Provincial politics in the Philippines are anything but straightforward. Corruption, vote buying and family ties that are a little too close are only a few of the problems when it comes to elections. In the small provincial town of Sagada, Richard Yodong runs for Deputy-Mayor. His honest approach to politics sets him apart from other politicians in town. With the camera always close by, Richard lives through election times dominated by the battling of two formerly cooperating politicians over the most powerful and lucrative position in town. Their race for mayor gives an insight into how politics works in the provinces, the lasting impact it has on the local people and why having a wedding suddenly becomes overly popular during election times.

Politik di tingkat propinsi di Filipina sangat jauh dari kejujuran.

Korupsi, politik suap, dan hubungan kekerabatan yang berpengaruh hanyalah sebagian kecil dari kenyataan soal pemilihan umum. Di sebuah kota propinsi kecil Sagada, Richard Yodong mencalonkan diri sebagai wakil walikota. Pendekatan jujurnya kepada politik membuatnya berbeda dari politisi lain di kota tersebut. Dengan kamera yang mengikutinya, Richard menjalani pemilihan umum yang didominasi oleh persaingan dua politisi yang sebelumnya bekerja sama demi jabatan paling kuat di kota tersebut. Kompetisi merebut kedudukan walikota memberikan pemahaman akan situasi politik di tingkat propinsi dan dampak panjangnya bagi warga setempat, serta mengapa merayakan pesta pernikahan adalah hal yang populer menjelang pemilihan umum.

Music and film? The first thing that probably pops into your mind is a music video of the latest biggest pop star. But the combination of music and film has much more to offer. In the last decades music documentaries such as Scorsese’s “The Blues“ or Wadleigh’s “Woodstock - Three Days of Peace and Music“ captured social revolutions reflected through music. Whether it was simply by following an artist who represented an idea or by picturing a movement or a special music event, these films were a mirror of changing socio-cultural structures at that point in time.

Following this tradition, five new music documentaries from and about Singapore,

Mongolia and Indonesia give a new perspective on Asia and its noisy identity.

The films show cultural conflicts between tradition and modernity, they picture how music can be a chance to overcome grievances and give an insight into the actual social reality of these countries.

Musik dan film? Hal pertama yang mungkin muncul di kepala kita adalah video musik dari bintang pop terkenal masa kini. Namun, kombinasi antara musik dan film punya lebih banyak hal untuk ditawarkan. Dalam dekade terakhir, dokumenter musik seperti “The Blues“ karya Scorsese atau “Woodstock - Three Days of Peace and Music“ karya Wadleigh menangkap revolusi sosial yang tercermin lewat musik.

Baik sekedar mengikuti perjalanan seorang pemusik dalam menyampaikan ide mereka ataupun menggambarkan sebuah gerakan maupun acara-acara musik khusus, film-film ini adalah cermin dari perubahan struktur sosiokultural pada suatu masa. Mengikuti tradisi ini, lima dokumenter musik baru dari dan tentang

Singapura, Mongolia dan Indonesia memberikan sudut pandang baru mengenai Asia dan identitasnya yang hiruk-pikuk. Film-film ini memperlihatkan konflik budaya antara tradisi dan modernitas, menggambarkan bagaimana musik bisa membantu dalam menghadapi masa-masa buruk dan memberikan pemahaman akan realita sosial yang aktual dari negara-negara tersebut.

Don’t miss this visual sound experience and discover that behind the music there is always a story to be told.

Jangan sampai ketinggalan untuk menikmati pengalaman audiovisual ini dan menemukan bahwa di balik musik selalu ada kisah untuk diceritakan.

Mongolian Bling

Screened with

Mongolian Bling // Directed by Benj Binks // Australia // 2011 // 89 min // Mongolian with English subtitles

Forget about nomads and monks! It’s hip hop that’s making Mongolia move in the 21st century. "Mongolian Bling" jumps into the thriving music scene in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and follows stars as they rap nationwide with their bitches, cars, and jewels. But beyond this bling lies a failed democracy, and a dying ancient culture whose loss is mourned by the elders. While many artists still emulate the West, a handful are using hip hop to try and salvage their country’s failing democracy, and bringing Mongolia’s rich musical history into their modern beats and rhymes.

Benj Binks

Lupakan soal orang-orang nomad dan para biksu! Hip Hop lah yang mendorong Mongolia masuk ke abad 21. "Mongolian Bling" melompat ke scene musik yang baru berkembang di ibukota, Ulaanbaatar, dan mengikuti para bintang yang dalam perjalanan mereka bernyanyi rap di seantero negeri membawa serta penggemar perempuan, mobil-mobil, dan perhiasan mereka.

Namun, beranjak dari gemerlap dunia rap tersebut, kita juga melihat kegagalan demokrasi dan budaya kuno yang sekarat, serta generasi tua yang menangisi kehilangannya. Walaupun beberapa seniman memiliki impian untuk pergi ke ‘barat’, beberapa menggunakan hip hop untuk mencoba menolong demokrasi yang gagal di negara mereka dan membawa sejarah musik Mongolia yang kaya ke dalam beat dan lirik yang lebih modern.

Metamorfoblus Metamorfoblus // Directed by Dosy Omar // Indonesia // 2011 // 97 min // Indonesian with English subtitles

Slank is a band of five young people with Peace, Love, Unity and Respect for Indonesia. They are expressing their dreams through the sound of drums, blaring voices and wrenching guitar sound. The film tells three stories of individual 'Slankers'. Supriyadi (Joker), from Batam, transfers the Slank-attitude of Peace to his professional life as a policeman. In Yogyakarta one Slanker and his father show how Love can change a life for the better. Last but not least, the story of a Slanker from Kupang, Timor Leste, is all about Unity and Respect.

Dosy Omar

Slank adalah sebuah band yang terdiri dari lima musisi dengan visinya yang terkenal: “Peace, Love, Unity and Respect for Indonesia“. Mereka mengekspresikan mimpi lewat bunyi tabuhan drum, vokal yang keras, dan petikan gitar yang tajam. Namun, film ini tak secara khusus berkisah tentang para anggota band ini, melainkan tentang para penggemar mereka: Supriyadi (alias Joker) dari Batam, yang menjadikan visi damai Slank sebagai panduan hidupnya dalam bekerja sebagai polisi. Di Yogyakarta, seorang Slanker (penggemar Slank) dan ayahnya berbagi kisah tentang cinta yang mengubah hidup mereka. Akhirnya, namun tak kalah penting: kisah sekelompok Slanker dari Kupang, Timor Leste, yang bersikeras mengikuti visi Slank tentang “Unity“ dan “Respect“.

Dosy Omar was born in 1977 in Jakarta and studied film directing with a focus on documentary at the Jakarta Institute Of Arts. He produced his first film "Dari Pisang hingga Lidah Mertua" in 1998. His documentary "Star Galaxy" was screened in 2004 at Singapore and Rotterdam film festivals.

The Promise of Music The Promise of Music // Directed by Enrique Sánchez Lansch // Venezuela, Germany, Austria // 2008 // 91 min // Original with English subtitles

This documentary on Venezuela’s visionary music education system introduces the audience to the “Simón Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela” and its charismatic conductor Gustavo Dudamel. The film accompanies him and four young fellow musicians from their rehearsals in Caracas, Venezuela to an ambitious performance at the Beethoven Festival in Bonn, Germany. We meet these young musicians, watch their daily lives, hear their stories, and watch them perform – but more than that, we discover that their commitment to the Youth Orchestra is an essential part of their lives.

Dokumenter mengenai sistem pendidikan musik visioner di Venezuela ini memperkenalkan kita pada “Simón Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela” dan konduktornya yang karismatik, Gustavo Dudamel. Film ini menemani Dudamel dan empat musisi lainnya, dari serangkaian latihan di Caracas, Venezuela, hingga ke pertunjukan ambisius mereka di Festival Beethoven di Bonn, Jerman.

Kita menemui para musisi muda ini, menonton kehidupan sehari-hari mereka, mendengarkan kisah-kisah mereka, dan menonton pertunjukan mereka. Namun, lebih dari itu, kita menemukan bahwa komitmen kepada Youth Orchestra adalah salah satu bagian terpenting dalam hidup mereka.

The Southeast Asia Movie Theater Project

Proyek Gedung Bioskop Asia Tenggara

Throughout the 20th century, the stand-alone movie theater was the preeminent venue for entertainment across Southeast Asia, an important social institution and a center for the distribution of information and values. For better or worse, changing technology, socio-economic structures and social mores have led to the rapid decline of these often monumental venues. Philip Jablon documented the architecture and atmosphere of over 200 stand-alone movie theaters in Thailand, Laos and Burma. His grand vision is to document all those that are still remaining throughout Southeast Asia and to evoke thoughts about the recent past, the function of cities and the act of going to the movies in the countries of Southeast Asia. Philip Jablon graduated in Sustainable Development from Chiang Mai University and his project shows his interest in the intersection between Southeast Asian architecture, development, social history and politics.

Sepanjang abad ke-20 gedung bioskop yang berdiri sendiri menjadi tempat hiburan utama di seluruh Asia Tenggara, dan merupakan institusi sosial yang penting sekaligus pusat distribusi informasi dan nilai. Suka atau tidak, tempat-tempat yang sering kali monumental tersebut kini menghilang dengan cepat akibat perubahan teknologi, perubahan struktur sosio-ekonomi dan pranata sosial.

The exhibition will be complemented by photos of the Permata Movie Cinema Theater in Indonesia by Feri Latief. His pictures of this movie theater in Yogyakarta show the building’s old magic and attraction but at the same time document first signs of the decay one year before it was closed down leaving the viewer with a feeling of nostalgia. Feri Latief is a freelance news photographer, since 2006 he has been a photo contributor for National Geographic Indonesia. His work has been published in several well known media. In 2010 he received the Jakarta Journalist Appreciation Award (A JJ).

As part of this exhibition, we will also feature the documentary “Sorry, The Cinema is Closed” by Ardi Wilda Irawan which tells the story of how this very same Permata movie theater was closed down on 1 August 2010. This event represents the end of a long history of movie theatres in Yogyakarta, which at its height reached 20 movie theaters.

21 Nov -10 Dec 2012 GoetheHaus Foyer, 9-18h

Sorry, The Cinema Is Closed Directed by Ardi Wilda Irawan // Indonesia // 17 min

Philip Jablon mendokumentasikan arsitektur dan suasana lebih dari 200 gedung bioskop yang berdiri sendiri di Thailand, Laos dan Myanmar. Melalui proyeknya, ia membangkitkan perhatian terhadap keindahan bangunanbangunan tersebut, dan ia berharap dapat memupuk apresiasi ser ta memicu upaya-upaya preservasi. Visi besarnya adalah mendokumentasikan semua gedung bioskop yang masih berdiri di Asia Tenggara, dan merangsang perenungan mengenai masa lampau yang belum lama berlalu, mengenai fungsi kota, ser ta mengenai perilaku menonton film di negara-negara Asia Tenggara. Philip Jablon lulus dari Chiang Mai University dalam bidang Pembangunan Berkelanjutan dan menaruh minat khusus pada per temuan antara arsitektur, pembangunan, sejarah sosial dan politik di Asia Tenggara.

Pameran ini didukung oleh foto-foto Bioskop Permata kar ya Feri Latief.

Foto-foto bioskop yang terletak di Yogkar ta, Indonesia ini menunjukan keajaiban dan daya tariknya namun pada saat yang sama mendokumentasikan tanda-tanda kerusakan setahun sebelum bioskop ini ditutup, meninggalkan perasaan nostalgia kepada para penontonnya. Feri Latief adalah pewar ta foto lepas, sejak tahun 2006 menjadi kontributor foto National Geographic Indonesia. Kar ya fotonya pernah dimuat berbagai media terkemuka. Pada tahun 2010 ia mendapat penghargaan Apresiasi Jurnalis Jakar ta (A JJ).

Dalam pameran ini juga diputar sebuah film dokumenter berjudul "Maaf, Bisokop Sudah Tutup" kar ya Ardi Wilda Irawan yang menceritakan kisah tutupnya Bioskop Permata pada tanggal 1 Agustus 2010. Kejadian ini menambah deret panjang matinya bioskop kelas kelas dua, mengakhiri sejarah panjang bioskop di Yogyakar ta yang sempat menyentuh angka 20 buah bioskop.
