Indonesia is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. A
unique cultural diversity has developed on its countless islands – yet
the Western world knows surprisingly little about Indonesian culture. In
particular, hardly anything is known about Indonesian film, which, as
social seismograph, has the potential to communicate the views specific
to this culture to the rest of the world. This book, with its
contributions from renowned Australian, Dutch, German and Indonesian
film experts, closes a gap by introducing this Asian film culture, which
is increasingly gaining importance on an international level. Personal
and biographical backgrounds are illuminated by interviews with the
filmmakers themselves, in which they discuss their movies and offer
insights into their viewpoints. By providing a multitude of
perspectives, the book offers its readers access to this previously
foreign film culture.
