After his full-length debut, “Photocopier”, that came out in 2021, Wregas Bhanuteja decided to continue the exploration of current public issues regarding the use of technology and social media. However, in “Andragogy”, which premiered at the 49th Toronto International Film Festival, the main character is not a teenager, but a middle-aged teacher. Hence the English title, which means “the art of teaching adults or helping adults learn”, perfectly captures the film's message – in this rapidly changing world, people need to acquire new skills throughout their entire lives. The movie was met with critical acclaim as it received seventeen nominations at the 43rd Indonesian Film Festival, including Best Picture, and won two awards – for Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress.

Directed by Angga Dwimas Sasongko, who has a successful track record with his previous film “Ben and Jody” (2021), the movie offers a new perspective on the category by placing greater emphasis on drama and character development.
“Stealing Raden Saleh” follows the story of Piko, a college student and skilled forger, who must steal a valuable painting to secure the release of his imprisoned father.

Released in 1998 at the very beginning of the J-horror scene, Park ki-hyeong’s celebrated Korean horror effort “Whispering Corridors” is one of the finest efforts from that time period and was a massive hit, spawning a franchise with four loose follow-ups. Now, director Awi Suryadi offers a remake of that classic, transplanted to Indonesia and keeping the potent themes of bullying intact alongside the penchant for classy genre scares with its premiere in local theaters earlier in the year.
Arriving at a new high school, student Alex (Angga Yunanda) immediately falls into the crosshairs of older students Fahri (Teuku Ryzki), Andre (Arya Vasco) and Erika (Naomi Paulinda) for being a younger classmate. As the situation grows worse and their attacks continue without any kind of supervisor interference, he finds solace in Maggie (Amanda Rawles), a fellow victim of their bullying and new student like him. As the two start to...
