“For many entertainment industry observers, Indonesia has long been a country of enormous, but somewhat unfulfilled, potential. What is so very exciting at present is that more of that potential seems to be being realised. In terms of market development, in terms of creativity and growing connections with industries and audiences overseas. We come to JAFF Market to learn more about these trends.”

Initiatives like JAFF MARKET enable the international industry to learn more about the companies and talent behind Indonesian films, as well as explore opportunities for co-production and collaboration.”
