The Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival (JAFF) Market is thrilled to announce that submissions are now officially open for the 2025 edition of JAFF Future Project and JAFF Content Market, inviting filmmakers and IP creators from Indonesia and the wider Asian region to seize this exceptional opportunity.

Entering its second year, the initiative is tailored to foster creative development, strengthen distribution channels, build industry partnerships, and elevate cross-sector collaborations.

Key Highlights:

• JAFF Future Project (In partnership with Adelaide Film Festival’s AFF Festival Bridges program): Designed for feature-length projects—fiction or documentary—in the development, pre-production, or works-in-progress stages. Selected projects will gain privileged access to pitching sessions, industry matchmaking, and networking opportunities aimed at accelerating production pathways.
• JAFF Content Market: Focused on market-ready original IP—spanning books, comics, games, music, non-fiction works, films, series, animation, and more. Intended for IP creators who wish to explore adaptation potential, distribution reach, and franchise development. Participants will connect directly with decision-makers including buyers, production partners, and platforms.
• Submission Deadline: 1 September 2025, 11:59 PM (GMT+7). Rules and regulations are detailed on the JAFF Market website’s respective pages for each initiative.

JAFF Market’s Global Track Record

Building on its successful 2024 edition, JAFF Market continues to highlight the vibrancy of Indonesian storytelling on the world stage:

• Pangku (On Your Lap)—an alumni of JAFF Future Project—won the White Light Post-Production Award and earned a spot in the HAF Goes to Cannes program at the Marché du Film.
• Three original IP projects from the 2024 Content Market—Bandits of Batavia, Locust, and Jitu—were showcased in the Spotlight Asia – Asian IP Showcase during the Showbox Masterclass & Pitching Session at Marché du Film.

These accomplishments underscore JAFF Market’s mission to promote Indonesian and Asian narratives globally.
