The cinema will appear very grande by inserting footages from the original old film from a specific archive. However, we don’t find such things in the documentary of history made by Kidlat Tahimik, an artist and filmmaker from Phillipines.

Personal body is something that is primordial of an individual, more often than not demanded to also develop its discourses and revealing them in a communal space. Would the human being forever lives behind the “human being are a social entity”, which eventually trapping them in an uncertain situation of its own bodily personality?

In this digital generation, the audiovisual content creator also has a purpose beyond capturing the reality through the camera, but they have the urge to share and make a statement. For example, the emergence of Instagram Story and Snapchat becomes a space for us to share our daily lives. This also spreads to the concept of Indonesian filmmaking, bringing forth this gesture and technological discourse of here and now, making the act of recording, watching, and self-exhibiting has less limit and gets connected all together.

In the act of playing, humans can explore freedom in them and around them, and through it, they can also leave their plain routine. A game can create new, infinite rules, which have an authority of their own. Even though they are often deemed as childish, they are able to give a different experience in cinematic production, both to the creators and audience.

Akbar Yumni in the 2nd International Competition program at ARKIPEL homoludens: 6th Jakarta International Documentary and Experimental Film Festival tries to show that singularity cinematically through the films in his selection program.

Country A versus Country B. For instance in football, Indonesia team versus Malaysia team. As if becoming the winner is the whole purpose of the event. But, the Kultursinema Exhibition #5 titled Passion of the Perfect Body tries to offer another perspective on the notion and essence of a sports event.

In fact, recently, there was an action of the Sunda Wiwitan followers who were trying to defend their belief by lying down on the street, when they were threatened to be dissolved because of not following the religious principle recognized by the state or the majority.
