During this interview, Pak Hikmat gave us a very brief overview of some of his favourite Indonesian films and filmmakers, which we look forward to looking into with more depth. We were particularly interested in discussing how our current project fits into the broader ecosystem of cinema and video culture in Indonesia, in particular documentary practice and the representation of Indigenous culture and community on Indonesian screens. We sought Hikmat’s insight into Indonesian screen and cinema culture to gain a better perspective on where our project might sit in the contemporary Indonesian screen landscape.Īs both critic and participant in the national cinema conversation, pak Hikmat has unique insight into the preoccupations and challenges faced by Indonesian screen culture. He remains an engaged participant in Indonesian cinema, and a keen supporter of new cinema forms. As a founding member and active critic in the Rumah Film criticism team from 2007-2012, Hikmat was a vital component of a new generation of filmmakers and film goers in Indonesia. Speaking with Pak Hikmat was a real pleasure, his passion and enthusiasm for Indonesian cinema is infectious and his expertise invaluable.
