FOREWORD Welcome to the 11th Jakarta International Film Festival!
his year, JiFFest begins its second decade. For the last decade, JiFFest has grown along with Indonesian film. From 4 in 1999 when JIFFest was held for the first time, the number has grown to around 100 by now. Since 2006, JIFFest has created its own Indonesian Feature Film Competition with foreign film professionals as juries. JiFFest then grew into a showcase of Indonesian film development for international film industry. From visiting curators of worldwide film festivals, Indonesian films started gaining recognition in international level, as proven by 4 Indonesian films screened at Berlinale earlier this year.
JiFfest 2009
JiFFest’s own JiFFest Script Development Competition & Workshop (JSDC) has given birth to today’s best talents in filmmaking, such as Wahyu Aditya (2004), World Champion International Young Creative Entrepreneur of the Year (2007); Tumpal Tampubolon (2005), Asian Young Filmmakers Fellow Korea (2008); Salman Aristo (2006), writer of Ayat-Ayat Cinta (2007), Laskar Pelangi (2008) and Garuda Di Dadaku (2009); Yuli Andari Merdekaningtyas (2006), director of Suster Apung, winner of Eagle Awards Metro TV (2006), and many more. Such achievement propels us to maintain our aim to be a platform of appreciating and getting education from films. We remain dedicated in bringing the best of worldwide films, including those from ASEAN, and Madani Film Festival, an Islamic themed program that we create together with rumahfilm.org, of which we will run the event as a separate festival next year.
However, more than film screenings, sidebar events in JIFFest often serve as alternative education in film education. Thus, the presence of Christian Scheurer (visual consultant for The Matrix) or Petr Lom who recorded Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad’s activities is something not to be missed. Both discussion panel on the topic of Film Promotion & Marketing and the launch of Amir Muhammad’s book “Yasmin Ahmad’s Films” are also worth attending. At last, JIFFest is ready to start its journey this year. Starts in Belitong, the backdrop of our opening film SANG PEMIMPI, making a history as the first Indonesian film featured as JIFFest opening film, and ends in New York through our closing film, NEW YORK I LOVE YOU. In between the two, 25 countries are being represented in our selection of high quality films. Welcome to JiFFest, welcome to Blitz Megaplex Grand Indonesia, the only screening venue for this year’s festival. Have a good festival!

PRAKATA Selamat datang di Jakarta International Film Festival ke-11!
ahun ini, JIFFest telah memasuki dekade yang kedua. Sepuluh tahun terakhir, JIFFest berkembang seiring dengan pertumbuhan perfilman Indonesia. Ketika pertama kali diadakan di tahun 1999, hanya ada 4 film Indonesia dalam setahun. Sepuluh tahun kemudian jumlah itu hampir mencapai 100 judul. Sejak tahun 2006 pun, JiFFest menyelenggarakan Kompetisi Film Cerita Panjang Indonesia dengan juri-juri internasional. Tak bisa dipungkiri, JIFFest, sebagai sebuah festival secara keseluruhan, menjadi etalase perkembangan film Indonesia di mata pelaku film internasional. Dari curator festival-festival film dunia yang datang ke JIFFest, filmfilm Indonesia mampu berbicara di dunia internasional, seperti diputarnya 4 film Indonesia di Berlinale awal tahun ini.
JiFfest 2009
Dari program pengembangan naskah JIFFest Script Development Competition & Workshop (JSDC), lahir bakat-bakat yang menonjol saat ini, seperti: Wahyu Aditya (2004), World Champion International Young Creative Entrepreneur of the Year (2007); Tumpal Tampubolon (2005), Asian Young Filmmakers Fellow Korea (2008); Salman Aristo (2006), penulis Ayat-Ayat Cinta (2007), Laskar Pelangi (2008) dan Garuda Di Dadaku (2009); Yuli Andari Merdekaningtyas (2006), Sutradara Suster Apung, Pemenang Eagle Awards Metro TV (2006), dan masih banyak lagi. Prestasi ini semakin meneguhkan tekad kami untuk membuat JIFFest sebagai ajang edukasi dan apresiasi film. Kami tetap menghadirkan film-film pilihan dari berbagai penjuru dunia, termasuk program film ASEAN, lalu ada juga Madani Film Festival, festival film Islam yang diadakan bersama rumahfilm.org dan rencananya akan diselenggarakan terpisah tahun depan.
Selain sebagai tontonan, penambahan wawasan lewat kehadiran seorang Christian Scheurer (visual consultant The Matrix) atau Petr Lom yang merekam kegiatan Presiden Iran Mahmoud Ahmedinejad pun sayang untuk dilewatkan. Ini juga berlaku untuk panel diskusi tentang Film Promotion & Marketing atau peluncuran buku “Yasmin Ahmad’s Films� oleh Amir Muhammad. Akhirnya, JIFFest siap untuk memulai perjalanannya tahun ini. Dimulai dari Belitong dimana film pembuka kami, SANG PEMIMPI, mencetak sejarah baru sebagai film Indonesia pertama yang membuka JIFFest, dan berakhir di New York lewat film penutup kami, NEW YORK I LOVE YOU. Di tengah-tengah dua belahan dunia ini, ada 25 negara lain yang layak dikunjungi lewat film-film pilihan. Selamat datang di JIFFest, selamat datang di Blitz Megaplex Grand Indonesia, satu-satunya tempat pemutaran film JIFFest tahun ini, dan selamat berfestival!

Letters to the President Dir.: Petr Lom Iran. 2009. Documentary. 74 min. Color. Beta SP. Persian (with English subtitles) DEC 5 / BLZ 11 / 18:30 (by invitation only) DEC 7 / BLZ 11 / 15:30
Every year nearly 10 million Iranians send their letters to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with hopes of better lives. Despite his growing popularity, the president’s populist policies are yet to prove themselves since most Iranians are still living in poverty. Petr Lom, the director of the film, was allowed to accompany the president on several countryside trips (the only foreigner given such access), and the result is an astounding look of Iran beyond the news.
Setiap tahun hampir 10 juta warga Iran mengirimkan surat kepada sang Presiden Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dengan harapan akan membawa kehidupan yang lebih baik. Walaupun popularitasnya mulai berkembang, kebijakan populis sang presiden belum dapat terbukti ampuh karena masih banyak warga Iran yang hidup dalam kemiskinan. Petr Lom, sang sutradara, adalah orang asing satu-satunya yang mendapatkan izin untuk mengikuti sang presiden dalam beberapa perjalanannya ke berbagai daerah di Iran. Hasilnya adalah sebuah dokumenter yang memperlihatkan sisi lain dari Iran yang belum pernah kita lihat sebelumnya.
a Premiere Petr Lom is an independent documentary director and producer. Entirely self-taught, he directs, shoots and edits his own films. He is a former academic with a Ph.D. in political philosophy from Harvard University. His previous films are BRIDE KIDNAPPING IN KYRGYZSTAN (2004), ON A TIGHTROPE (2007), YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM ALLAH (2007). The latter two films will be screened in JIFFest this year.
Petr Lom will attend the screenings of the film. (screened together with YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM ALLAH)

This is a tale of three souls who find solace in religion. Brian has lost his faith in Christianity since he was 12 after being humiliated by his father, a strict Catholic. During his teaching days at the school, he meets the two sisters who often recite verses from the holy Qur’an and gain simple knowledge of Islam. Each of their life journeys will never be the same again.
Sebuah kisah dari tiga jiwa yang menemukan kedamaian di dalam agama. Brian kehilangan kepercayaannya pada Kristianitas sejak berusia 12 tahun saat ia dipermalukan ayahnya sendiri, seorang pemeluk Katolik yang taat.
