Golden Memories (Petite Histoire of Indonesian Cinema)

synopsis

Three filmmakers explore the traces of home cinema in Indonesia. Along the way, they encounter the cinema of Kwee Zwan Liang and the cinema of Rusdy Attamimi. From Jakarta to Amsterdam, from The Hague to Djatipiring, the home movie leads them not only to the culture of cinema that has been established by the public, but also to its aesthetics and ontology of what is home movie from time to time.
