Foreword by Head of the Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Office
This year marks the fifth edition of Jakarta Film Week, carrying the theme “Reignite.” The theme symbolizes a renewed spirit to spark creative energy, strengthen collaboration, and rekindle optimism in the world of cinema. Over the past five years, Jakarta Film Week has served as a vital platform for filmmakers to showcase their finest works, share knowledge, and expand networks both nationally and internationally.
As the Jakarta Provincial Tourism and Creative Economy Office, we remain committed to supporting this festival as part of our continuous effort to position Jakarta as a global creative city. Jakarta is a city of constant dynamism — a hub of creative economic growth that welcomes new ideas, talents, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Through Jakarta Film Week, this spirit comes to life in a cinematic celebration that inspires both the public and the industry.
We hope Jakarta Film Week 2025 will serve as a moment to reignite the passion for filmmaking, strengthen the creative ecosystem, and further elevate Indonesian cinema on the global stage.
Enjoy Jakarta Film Week 2025, and may the spirit of “Reignite” continue to burn brightly as a source of inspiration for the advancement of Indonesia’s film industry!
