JAFF Market Chief Eyes Hub Status for Indonesian Film Industry
variety.comNaman Ramachandran Jogja’s inaugural JAFF Market is positioning itself as a connector between Indonesia’s diverse film ecosystem, from independent filmmakers to major studios, according to market chair, noted filmmaker Ifa Isfansyah.
Running Dec. 3-5 alongside the Jogja-Netpac Asian Film Festival (JAFF), the market aims to streamline access to Southeast Asia’s largest film industry. “We think Indonesia needs this hub.
If you want to know about Indonesian film industry, we don’t have an event or hub,” Isfansyah says. “When you want to meet with Indonesian film companies, let’s say you have one week in Jakarta, maybe you can just meet five companies because of traffic.
