The Jakarta Film Week, first held in 2021, is a testament to the existence and resurgence of the film industry during the global pandemic. The Jakarta Film Week reflects the Jakarta Tourism and Culture Office's continuous efforts and commitment to advance and develop domestic and international film industries. Filmmakers and film audiences in Indonesia have embraced this international festival with enthusiasm.
Every year, Jakarta Film Week gave a platform for films from many countries around the world, encompassing feature-length and short films. Amidst the splendor of this festival, some exceptional works were selected and presented with prestigious awards. No less than hundred of thousands viewers participated, both virtually and in person, in a diverse array of programs ranging from the Road to Jakarta Film Week, Jakarta Film Fund, Film Screenings, Masterclasses, Talks, and Community events to the Jakarta Film Week Award Night.
Jakarta Film Week is also committed to providing innovation and opportunities for filmmakers to continue growing by introducing new programs through collaborations with other international film festivals.
