The last weekend of April sees the Event Cinemas Sydney playing host to the 9th Annual Indonesian Film Festival (IFF). Dubbed as the “largest celebration of Indonesian screen culture held in Australia”, IFF showcases an eclectic range of arthouse cinema from Indonesia.
The festival aims to use cinema as a means to increase cultural awareness and appreciation of the Indonesian culture within Australia. This year’s festival includes many different activities including three feature movie screenings, a short film competition, educational programs for years 8-12 students and a Q&A session with the director and main star of film The Jungle School.
“On the final day we also have the teacher whom The Jungle School is based on attending, so this will be a great opportunity for people to get to hear more about this story,” says Gladys Gadiella from IFF Australia. (JA)
