Background |
 |
Indonesian Film Industry went
through decades of near death
experience. Its resurrection in the
year 2000 was marked by a new
school of Indonesian
filmmakers |
| (approx. 70% are women film
makers). After seven years of its rebirth, horror films are dominating the national film genre. Little space are left for films with original ideas that portrays the real condition of Indonesia as a growing nation. Kalyana Shira
Films came to formation upon its founders and members strong concern towards the |
 |
development of Indonesian New Cinema. The
founders are film workers who debuted and actively involved in the film industry shortly after the Indonesia’s |
| 1998
reform (Post Soeharto era), had their share in reviving the local film industry and bring back public’s appreciation to
Indonesian films. Issues of women, gender, children and other marginalized groups in Indonesia are its priority. |

Objective |
 |
Women, children and other marginalized
group in our society
are rarely depicted in Indonesian
films. The nature of film making
requires a great financial effort, |
| given the specific issues such as struggle in women’s life doubled
the burden. Therefore the realization of this
work will need many supports from funding
agency and organization with similar
concern and mission. With the support of
Ford Foundation we are able to complete
the production part, and we are now inviting
other institutions,
companies
and partners to do
a mutual cooperation
in doing post
production and
promotion of the
film. |
