Diskusi Buku Festival
In recent decades, the number of film festivals in Asia and around the world has increased tremendously. These film festivals not only provide opportunities to appreciate cinematic works, but they also have an impact on numerous sectors of the film industry, such as distribution, marketing, and production trends. With increased interest and participation from both local and foreign filmmakers, it is critical to analyze how the growth of these film festivals affects the film business on both the Asian and worldwide levels. This discussion will focus on the books “Managing Film Festivals” by Ifa Isfansyah and “Film Festivals in Indonesia” by Lulu Ratna.
