Persepolis
Dir.: Vincent Paronnaud & Marjane Satrapi
France. 2007. Animation. 95 Min. Black and White/Color. 35 mm. French/Persian/English/German (with English subtitles).
DEC 7 / DJK 1 / 19:00 (by invitation only) • DEC 7 / DJK 2 / 19:15 (by invitation only)
DEC 9 / DJK 1 / 21:30 • DEC 13 / BLZ 9 / 19:00
In Tehran, 1978, young Marjane dreams of being a future prophet while lives her days listening to ABBA and punk music. But her peaceful
life begins to disappear as the Islamic revolution sweeps the country, forcing her parents to send her to Austria when she turns fourteen.
Initially happy but gradually feels lonely, she makes a difficult decision to return to Iran and wears a veil when she finishes her school. Yet, in
her adult life by now, Marjane realizes that she cannot live in Iran. She makes the heartbreaking decision to leave her homeland for France,
optimistic about her future, shaped indelibly by her past.
Di Tehran, 1978, Marjane menikmati kehidupannya dengan bermimpi menjadi pemimpin masa depan dan mendengarkan musik punk atau
lagu-lagu ABBA. Tetapi kehidupan Marjane berubah saat revolusi Islam mulai digencarkan di negara itu, dan memaksa orang tua Marjane
memindahkannya ke Austria saat dia berusia empat belas tahun. Sempat merasakaan kebahagiaan di tempat baru, walaupun akhirnya merasa
kesepian, Marjane memutuskan untuk kembali ke Iran selesai sekolah dan mengenakan jilbab. Tetapi, waktu terus berjalan dan saat Marjane
sudah menginjak dewasa, Marjane sadar bahwa dia tidak bisa tinggal di Iran. Marjane memutuskan untuk meninggalkan tanah airnya dan
pindah ke Prancis dengan semangat untuk membuat masa depannya lebih baik.
Vincent Paronnaud is one of renowned French artists known for his macabre humor, as shown in his award-winning film RAGING BLUES
(2004). He collaborated with author Marjane Satrapi in turning her critically acclaimed autobiography novel PERSEPOLIS into a critically
acclaimed film.

Chants of Lotus (Perempuan Punya Cerita)
Dir.: Fatimah Tobing, Lasja F. Susatyo, Nia Dinata, Upi
Indonesia. 2007. Drama. 105 Min. Color. 35 mm. Indonesian (with English subtitles).
DEC 16 / DJK 1 / 19:00 (by invitation only - limited seats available for public)
Four women filmmakers tackle four different stories about lives of marginalized women in Indonesia: in “Chant From an Island”, a midwife
(Rieke Dyah Pitaloka) in a deserted island sacrifices her dying health to rescue a mentally challenged woman (Rachel Maryam); in “Chant
From a Tourist Town”, a high-school student (Kirana Larasati) toys around with an overwhelming access to free sex, which may put her life
in jeopardy; in “Chant From a Village”, a single mother (Shanty) is forced to see her daughter (Ken Nala Amrita) and her best friend (Sarah
Sechan) fall victims to women and children trafficking syndicate; and in “Chant From the Capital City”, a middle class Chinese woman (Susan
Bachtiar) is about to be separated from her only daughter because of an HIV threat. These are portraits of modern Indonesian women unlike
anything ever seen in big screen before.
Empat sutradara wanita menyutradarai empat cerita berbeda dengan tema yang sama, yaitu kehidupan kaum wanita Indonesia yang
terpinggirkan: di “Cerita dari Pulau”, seorang bidan (Rieke Dyah Pitaloka) di pulau terpencil mengorbankan kesehatannya demi keselamatan
seorang wanita dengan keterbelakangan mental (Rachel Maryam); di “Cerita dari Yogya”, seorang pelajar SMA (Kirana Larasati) mendapat
akses mudah ke pergaulan bebas yang malah bisa mengacaukan hidupnya; di “Cerita dari Cibinong”, seorang ibu muda (Shanty) menghadapi
kenyataan pahit bahwa anak perempuannya (Ken Nala Amrita) dan sahabatnya (Sarah Sechan) menjadi korban perdagangan anak dan
perempuan; dan di “Cerita dari Jakarta”, seorang perempuan dari kelas menengah (Susan Bachtiar) terancam terpisah dari anak tunggalnya
karena virus HIV. Inilah serangkaian kehidupan wanita Indonesia masa kini yang jarang diangkat ke layar lebar.
Fatimah Tobing is a film professor in UC Irvine, a visual anthropologist and a short filmmaker who received the Director’s Guild Student
Award in 2000. Lasja Fauzia directed two films screened in JiFFest this year, i.e. “Dunia Mereka” (Their World) and “Bukan Bintang Biasa: The
Movie” (Not Your Average Stars); while Upi recently scripted “Coklat Stroberi” (Chocolate Strawberry). Nia Dinata’s previous film, “Berbagi
Suami (Love for Share)”, was Indonesia’s submission to Best Foreign Language Film category in Academy Awards last year.
Note: The film will be released in nationwide cinemas from January 17, 2008.

DEC 9 / BLZ 7 / 16:45 (by invitation only) • DEC 16 / BLZ 9 / 11:30
Three men serve as “conductors” on their own terms: one man is an established musician whose symphony orchestra is one of the most
sought after in the region; another leads some 5,000 singers in one choir group; and the other is a football fan who guides 50,000 people to
sing and dance. These three men possess undeniable charms that reflect their strength, integrity and natural born leadership.
Tiga pria berprofesi sebagai “konduktor” dalam pengertian yang berbeda satu sama lain: satu sebagai pemimpin orkestra terkemuka; satu pria
mampu memimpin 5.000 penyanyi dalam sebuah paduan suara; dan satu lagi adalah pecinta sepakbola yang dapat menggerakkan 50.000 orang
untuk menari dan bernyanyi. Ketiga pria ini memiliki kharisma yang merefleksikan kekuatan jiwa kepemimpinan mereka.
Andibachtiar Yusuf’s latest documentary, THE JAK, about fanaticism of Persija’s (Jakarta’s premier footbal team) fans, marked the first time

Two girls join together to form the Papaya Sisters, a “getai” (Hokkien-singing live performance) group that sings at performances during the
seventh lunar month. Their rise to fame in the Singaporean getai scene brings the jealousy of the Durian Sisters, a rival group of techno-
singing Eurasian girls. Their rivalry soon culminates in a showdown at a getai show, where the girls pull off their most amazing performance
yet. However, beyond the camp and the glam, a twist of fate awaits for the Papaya Sisters at the end of the competition.
Dua anak perempuan bergabung membentuk grup “getai” (penyanyi lagu-lagu Hokkien) yang bernama The Papaya Sisters, yang melakukan
pertunjukan setiap perayaan bulan ketujuh dalam tradisi Cina. Kesuksesan mereka dalam dunia “getai” Singapura membuat iri grup The Durian
Sisters, yang menyanyikan lagu-lagu berirama techno. Persaingan mereka membawa mereka ke sebuah kompetisi “getai” yang mempertunjukkan
kemampuan terbaik mereka. Namun, dibalik gemerlapnya pentas mereka, sebuah takdir telah menunggu The Papaya Sisters di akhir pertunjukan.
Royston Tan won critical acclaims worldwide for his eye-opener film 15 (2003) that unravels the underground life in Singapore.

In 2003, a road was built to connect an isolated island called
Bungin with another cities. The road brought more advancement
in transportation and other norms for Bungin residents, but it left a
fisherman family in Bajo in dilemma of sticking to traditional values,
or adapting to the rapid change.
Di tahun 2003, sebuah jalan dibangun untuk menghubungkan
Bungin, sebuah pulau kecil yang terisolasi, dengan kota lain yang lebih
maju. Dampak dari pembangunan ini membawa kemajuan sarana
transportasi serta nilai-nilai baru, namun juga membawa dilema bagi
sebuah keluarga nelayan di Bajo antara memegang nilai tradisional
atau mengikuti arus perubahan yang begitu cepat.

In this quirky comedy, we learn that Edgar’s life as a fifty-something
waiter is downright miserable: he is often beaten by abusive
costumers, and goes home to a needy girlfriend. Fed up with
this, Edgar confronts Herman, the writer who created him for an
unfinished story. The problem is, as a fictitious character, Edgar
quickly realizes that taking control of his own destiny may not be
as easy as he first thought. In fact each new chapter seems to bring
about a dozen more problems.
Dalam film komedi unik ini, kita melihat kehidupan Edgar yang cukup
menyedihkan sebagai seorang pelayan restoran berusia 50-an tahun,
karena dia sering dipukul para pelanggannya dan di rumah pun
sering diganggu oleh pacarnya yang menyebalkan. Lelah dengan
kehidupannya, Edgar menegur Herman, penulis yang menciptakan
tokoh Edgar ini untuk karya ceritanya. Permasalahannya, tentu saja
sebagai karakter rekaan, Edgar tidak bisa mengontrol kehidupannya
sendiri. Bahkan setiap bab baru dalam cerita ini malah membawa
Edgar ke permasalahan yang lebih besar.

O’Grady, the most notorious pedophile in
the history of the modern Catholic Church.
Unashamed and completely lack of any
sense of guilt, O’Grady used his charm
and authority to violate dozens of faithful
Catholic families across Northern California
to turn in their children for him for more
than two decades. While his superiors in
the church were aware of O’Grady’s crimes
as early as 1973, they opted to simply move
him from one congregation to another
rather than turn him in to authorities or strip
him out of his ordination.
Film ini mengangkat kisah Pendeta Oliver
O’Grady, seorang pelaku pedofil terkejam
yang pernah ada dalam sejarah gereja Katolik

selama lebih dari dua puluh tahun O’Grady

puluhan keluarga Katolik yang taat di
California Utara untuk menyerahkan anak-
anak mereka kepadanya. Meskipun pihak
gereja sudah mengetahui kejahatan O’Grady
sejak tahun 1973, namun mereka tidak
menyerahkan O’Grady ke pihak kepolisian
atau mencopot statusnya sebagai pendeta.
Mereka memilih untuk memindahkannya dari

hope. But for the US government, he was a serious national threat
whose existence needed to be eliminated.

 Youth Section
• The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros • Dancing Bells • A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints • Into the Wild
• Mukhsin • The Namesake • Notte Prima Degli Esami • The Year My Parents Went on Vacation
The world’s obsession with youth leads to the following overrated statement: there is nothing like being young. While acceptance of
such statement is highly subjective, a visit to the past (A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS) may open up one’s mind about how
colorful a youth life is. The time when we discover who we truly are (THE BLOSSOMING OF MAXIMO OLIVEROS), the time when every-
thing is still possible despite constant chaos and misery (DANCING BELLS), the time when innocence prevails over bitter truth (THE
YEAR MY PARENTS WENT ON VACATION), the time when life is nothing but endless joy (NOTTE PRIMA DEGLI ESAMI), the time when
love still tastes sweet (MUKHSIN), the time when life offers so many options to choose (INTO THE WILD). When the time has passed,
sometimes we are tempted to embark on a journey to, once again, redefine our self-identity (THE NAMESAKE), which will then tell us
that who we are in our adulthood is a reflection of our own youth.
Women Section
• 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days • Chants of Lotus • Elizabeth: The Golden Age • Hula Girls • A Mighty Heart

Film Section
“… And God Created Woman”. The title of Roger Vadim’s 1956 movie could not be more apt in defining the importance of woman
in our section. With all the power a woman has, she can determine the future of another person (4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS),
revive spirits of people in despair (HULA GIRLS), mark her stamp in the history of modern world (ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE), and
turn the world to think about values of life (A MIGHTY HEART). However, with all the power a woman carries within, sometimes they
are unfairly marginalized for, often, untold reasons (CHANTS OF LOTUS). Alas, emancipation that leads to freedom and independence
is the ultimate way for these women to shine (SUELY IN THE SKY, YELLA).

Global Change
• Crescent Moon Over the Sea (Bulan Sabit di Tengah Laut) • Comrades in Dreams
• The Drown Sea (Laut Yang Tenggelam) • The Missing Star • Sicko
Change is inevitable. As the world goes round, so does our life that more often than not, has to adapt to the change itself (CRESCENT
MOON OVER THE SEA). Either caused by force of nature (THE DROWN SEA), or man-made change (THE MISSING STAR), one has to
be ready with the consequences of the changing world, be them benefiting ourselves, or otherwise (SICKO). In the end, people who
survive the changes are people who seize good opportunities, and turn them into better lives (COMRADES IN DREAMS).
Music Section
• 881 • The Conductors • Four Minutes • La Vie en Rose • Shut Up & Sing • The US vs John Lennon • Vitus
Film Section
Music gives one a tremendous power. It can give the power to command other people (THE CONDUCTORS), it can give the power to
compete (881), it can give the power to escape mundane reality (LA VIE EN ROSE, FOUR MINUTES), and it can give the power to cause
a movement, no matter if the music is subdued and subtle (THE US VS JOHN LENNON). While some people are lucky enough to be
equipped with the power naturally (VITUS), others have to put a tremendous amount of effort for simply to be heard (SHUT UP AND
SING). Still, by any other means, when notes are played and words are sung, the world always stops to listen to these great talents.
