From the organizer:
On Thursday (22 Jan), Gayatri Nadya – Festival Manager of Jakarta Film Week – will visit White Light Cinéhub to share behind-the-scenes stories of this annual film festival held in Jakarta, Indonesia, which serves as an inspiring model of public–private partnership in cinema within Southeast Asia.
Within the talk, Nadya will also introduce several short-film projects that have received support from the Jakarta Film Fund – a program under Jakarta Film Week – a program that not only provides financial support but also project assistance in production management, screenwriting, directing and editing.
The talk will be moderated by Trần Duy Hưng – co-founder of The Onion Cellar and the project Like the Moon in a Night Sky.
This program is supported by Artist-in-Residence Vietnam Network (AiRViNe).
