Diskusi Tema: “Metanoia”
Two Ancient Greek terms, “metá” (meaning “beyond” or “after”) and “noeō” (meaning “perception,” “understanding,” or “thought”), are combined to form the phrase “metanoia.” Therefore, the combination of these two terms can mean different things, including a spiritual awakening, a change of heart, mind, self, or way of life, or a look into the most profound parts of the human brain. ‘Metanoia’ is the subject for this year’s Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival (JAFF). This subject emphasizes how, in spite of difficult obstacles and intricate circumstances, Asian cinema is constantly evolving towards greatness. Asian cinema will find its true identity with all of its strengths and limits by overcoming those obstacles and circumstances.

PEMBICARA:
SPEAKER:
Hanung Bramantyo
Director
Born in Yogyakarta in 1975, he graduated from the Film and TV Faculty of the Jakarta Arts Institute. He received the Best Director award at the Indonesian Film Festival in 2005 and 2007. Known for his work in romantic comedies, horror, and drama, he has recently shifted his focus to Islamic-themed films. His Islamic romance Ayat-Ayat Cinta (2008) attracted 1.5 million viewers within the first nine days of its release. He prefers to be recognized as a director who challenges ignorance and indifference rather than a strictly religious filmmaker. His films traverse various political viewpoints, with his right-wing projects often achieving more tremendous commercial success, yet he finds himself drawn to leftist ideologies.
