The story

Jakarta Youth Film Festival in Jakarta

A first-edition student and youth short film competition launched by Bank Indonesia's DKI Jakarta office, with submissions themed around Jakarta and screenings and awards held at Istora Senayan, featuring talks from established Indonesian film figures.

Bank Indonesia's DKI Jakarta regional office, an unusual organizer for a film festival, launched this student-focused short film competition in its first edition, kicking off in February around Indonesia's National Film Day and running submissions through spring before a main screening and awards event at Istora Senayan in July.
