This news brought an oasis for the film industry and Indonesia. There’s a constant oft-heard mantra in Indonesia, that film education and studies could not be considered as necessary as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) studies. Until this article was written, Ministries of Research, Technology and Higher Education stated that there are only 17 active film schools from all over Indonesia. This knowledge makes me wonder about film education in Indonesia. How is the real condition of the film school in Indonesia? What kind of challenges that Indonesian film schools have encountered today and for the future? Is film school still needed and relevant in Indonesia?
