In an interview at the Pers Conference Hari Film Nasional bersama Netflix Indonesia , Ifa Isfansyah, a well-known Indonesian filmmaker, expressed his views on the future of the Indonesian film industry.
With extensive experience in filmmaking, Ifa provides an interesting analysis of the dynamics occurring in the Indonesian film ecosystem today.
Four main elements
According to Ifa, there are four main elements in the film ecosystem, namely filmmakers, government, mass media and audiences.
The interesting thing is that, in his view, these four elements now share a similar vision.
This indicates that there is alignment in views and goals between filmmakers, government, mass media and audiences.
“My hope on the day of this film is that these four elements can continue to have one vision, because that is the key to development,” said Ifa.
He emphasized the importance of synergy between all parties involved in the film industry. When all elements move in the same direction, the potential for progress and growth in the Indonesian film industry becomes greater.
One of the factors that will influence the future of Indonesian films is technological developments, especially with the presence of streaming platforms such as Netflix.
Ifa sees this as an opportunity for the Indonesian film industry, not as a threat. According to him, the presence of Netflix can extend the life of Indonesian films because these films can continue to meet their audiences on this platform.
“With Netflix, the lifespan of Indonesian films will be longer because they can continue to meet their audiences,” added Ifa.
Ifa Isfansyah’s views provide valuable insight into the future of the Indonesian film industry.
Synergy between various elements in the film ecosystem, together with adaptation to technological developments, can be the key to success for the Indonesian film industry in facing challenges and taking advantage of opportunities in this digital era.
