Kamila Andini Speaks Up Revealing the Reason for the Delay of FFI 2024, Due to Waiting for Late Ministers

Kapanlagi.com - Who doesn’t know the Indonesian Film Festival or commonly abbreviated as FFI? This event is always a prestigious platform for Indonesian filmmakers to showcase their best works. Not to mention, FFI also serves as an important moment that brings together film industry players with the government and the wider community.

In addition to presenting nominees and winners that always spark curiosity, FFI also reflects the journey of our film industry, KLovers!

This year, 2024, that spirit returns with the grand theme "Marking the Horizon of Indonesian Cinema". Through this theme, FFI 2024 not only brings awards but also hopes to elevate Indonesian cinema to a more global stage!

However, behind the excitement of FFI, there are moments that draw attention, KLovers. The sharp criticism from director Kamila Andini regarding the culture of lateness at cultural events including FFI 2024 has captured public attention.

Let’s delve deeper into this, KLovers!

Kamila Andini is a well-established director in the film industry, who expresses her sharp criticism of the culture of tardiness.

In her Instagram story post, she recounts her experience attending two cultural events, including FFI 2024, which was delayed by over an hour.

"In both cases, the event was significantly delayed waiting for the esteemed guests to arrive," wrote Kamila. She even mentioned that some audience members had to leave before the event ended due to it being too late.

This comment is not just an ordinary critique, but also a reflection on fundamental issues in the cultural world. An event as significant as FFI should set a positive example in valuing time, especially considering that it is attended by many creative industry players from various regions.

2. New Ministry of Culture, New Challenges for FFI

The inauguration of the Ministry of Culture last October is expected to bring a breath of fresh air to the world of arts and culture in Indonesia.

FFI 2024 is set to be one of the first major events directly involving this ministry. However, it turns out that the challenges faced have not been fully resolved.

The Executive Chair of FFI 2024, Prilly Latuconsina, bears the heavy responsibility of ensuring that this event runs smoothly. Unfortunately, the incident of the delay of the honored guests has become a notable issue.

With a major theme that encourages innovation and inclusivity, professionalism in event organization is one aspect that needs to be improved.

Kamila's criticism should serve as a reflection for all parties. Moreover, FFI is not just about giving awards, but also reflects a culture of discipline that aligns with the mission to elevate Indonesian cinema to the global stage. Hopefully, this "culture" can be addressed soon, KLovers! If Not Now, When Else?
