<\/a>Cuplikan Filem Suite Habana<\/em> karya Fernando P\u00e9rez (2013)<\/p><\/div>\nGaya bahasa filem seperti ini justru menarik, dan dapat menjadi referensi penting bagi masyarakat di Indonesia yang masih terbiasa dengan penyampaian naratif filem yang bergantung pada dialog antartokoh di dalam ceritanya. Filem ini, jelas sekali, mengajarkan kita bahwa filem adalah visual, dan dalam pengemasan ide\/isu-nya, filem tak mengharuskan sebuah percakapan.<\/p>\n
Ketika filem usai dan lampu studio dinyalakan, saya mendengar suara-suara penonton berseru, \u201cHarusnya ada diskusi, nih!\u201d. Tapi memang tak ada diskusi hari itu. Ketika saya sibuk memeriksa begitu banyak pesan di ponsel saya, saya tak menyadari para penonton yang lain telah meninggalkan studio.<\/p>\n
\u201cLho, kok sepi?\u201d seru saya.<\/p>\n
\u201cUdah pada keluar,\u201d kata pacar saya. \u201cYuk, kita harus segera pergi!\u201d<\/p>\n[mk_divider style=”double_dot” divider_color=”#dddddd” divider_width=”full_width” margin_top=”20″ margin_bottom=”20″]\n
Film Does Not Always Require Conversation<\/span><\/h3>\n[mk_padding_divider size=”40″]\nJAKARTA, ARKIPEL, Forum Lenteng<\/strong> \u2014 During the day, around 13:00 pm, 15 September, 2014, my girlfriend sent a text: “I sat in the fifth seat from behind.” Yes, the day that we promised to watch the film titled Suite Habana<\/em> by Fernando P\u00e9rez from Cuba. This film was one of two films curated by Ronny Agustinus, for the Curatorial Program named “Beyond the Third Cinema” in the ARKIPEL Electoral Risk<\/em> – Jakarta International Documentary & Experimental Film Festival 2014.<\/span><\/p>\nI immediately followed my girlfriend who had been first in the studio. When entering the Studio 1 of XXI, Taman Ismail Marzuki (Ismail Marzuki Park or TIM\u2014red), I met Ronny Augustinus who jogged. “Sorry I’m late. Traffic jam!” he said. We both immediately went into the studio to watch the film which had been running for about 20 minutes (based on the infromation I had heard from the guest greeter).<\/span><\/p>\nRonny and I sat in the fifth row from the back. Ronny chose a seat at far left, while I was at my girlfriend’s side.<\/span><\/p>\nThe film of Suite Habana<\/em> was running \u2018quietly\u2019. I was waiting for any conversation, but still not there. When I checked the catalog in the middle of the dark room, it was indeed mentioned that this film didn\u2019t have any dialogue. There was little noise from the mouth when a clown appeared to entertain the children. Initially I found it difficult to understand this storyline, though I was impressed with the shots in this film that appeared so simple: not exotic at all in my eyes. However, the longer I listened to the film; I realized that even without narration and with no dialogue, the film remains a \u2018dialogue\u2019 with the audience through its construction of visual image.<\/span><\/p>\nAgain, I found the poetic nature of the film, when the composition of the image was present in the film with a measured placement, without demanding or requiring any ‘clear narrative’ of the aspects of its structure, but it still able to knock the deepest recesses of our thoughts about human life, in society, in their daily lives to survive the crisis in the middle of the insistence from the influence of \u2018new powers’ after the post-collapse of the previous regime. In a series of daily activities that kept changing from one figure to another figure here, I digested about the dreams of those in Havana: to live in peace and at ease.<\/span><\/p>\nSuch stylistic film is actually interesting, and could be an important reference for audiences in Indonesia who are still unfamiliar with the delivery of the narrative film that relies on dialogue between the characters in the story. This film, obviously, teaches us that film is visual; packaging its ideas\/issues doesn’t always require a conversation.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen the film ended and the studio lights turned on, I heard the voices of the audience called out, “There should be a discussion, right?!”<\/span><\/p>\nBut there was no discussion that day. When I was busy checking out so many messages on my cell phone, I did not realize the rest of the audience had left the studio.<\/span><\/p>\n“Why? So quiet?” I exclaimed.<\/span><\/p>\n“Everybody has left,” said my girlfriend. “Come on, we gotta go!”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filem ini, jelas sekali, mengajarkan kita bahwa filem adalah visual, dan dalam pengemasan ide\/isu-nya, filem tak mengharuskan sebuah percakapan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":3068,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[362,345,385],"tags":[173],"class_list":["post-3066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-festival-theme-arkipel-2014-electoral-risk","category-main-curatorial-program","category-film-screening-reviews","tag-electoral-risk"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\n
