Public Presentation: Belantara Films
Nostalgia on the Belantara Screen
Belantara Films berupaya menghidupkan kembali nilai-nilai masa lalu dalam setiap karyanya. Pendekatan ini melibatkan penggunaan unsur-unsur seperti barang antik, figur bersejarah, dan ruang museum sebagai elemen integral. Program ini secara khusus menyoroti bagaimana Belantara memvisualisasikan barang-barang antik sebagai komponen penting dari segi estetika, narasi, dan pesan budaya film. Proses kreatif Belantara melibatkan riset mendalam terhadap objek lama yang kaya akan kisah dan makna. Setiap film yang dihasilkan berfungsi sebagai dokumentasi dan pelestarian nilai-nilai lampau. Melalui sudut pandang sinematik, Belantara Films membuktikan bahwa film adalah medium yang efektif untuk mengarsipkan memori dan menjamin keberlanjutan warisan budaya.
