The Indonesian film industry is striving to expand its reach by continuously producing quality films that easily captivate the public's attention. From romance, horror, superhero, to action films, they are able to dominate cinemas in every city in Indonesia. Of course, all of this is thanks to the hard work of the actors and production team who have the same goal of advancing the domestic film industry. This is also supported by Prilly Latuconsina as an actress and Vice Chairperson of PARFI 56.
"The Indonesian film industry has experienced tremendous progress. From production quality, innovative stories, to collaborations between directors, writers, and actors. Everything synergizes very well to enrich the Indonesian film industry," said Prilly Latuconsina with a proud expression.

We as Indonesian citizens continue to hope that all films created by Indonesian directors have the opportunity to be known by a wide audience. It can certainly be a pride for actors and production teams if their films succeed internationally and achieve international recognition.
Prilly expressed, "I hope that the Indonesian film industry continues to develop through its works that inspire and promote cultural values. I also hope that Indonesian filmmakers receive support and opportunities to continue creating with full creativity."
"I hope that Indonesian films not only improve in terms of numbers, but also in terms of quality. So that Indonesian films are not only loved and watched in Indonesia, but can also become a cultural diplomacy medium for the world," added Marcella Zalianty.
3. Hope for Indonesian Film Actors

Marcella Zalianty's appointment as the Chairperson of PARFI 56 is a symbol of hope to continue raising issues about actors who have not been categorized as professionals. Until now, actors and actresses who spend their time on shooting locations are still seen as part-time workers. Therefore, PARFI 56 hopes to uphold justice for workers in the film industry.
“We hope that if Indonesian films continue to progress, the actors will also progress. If the Indonesian film industry becomes more mature, then the protection, welfare, and royalties of Indonesian actors can be clearer in the future. And most importantly, the position of Indonesian actors as professionals and not as laborers must be clearly stated in Indonesian regulations,” emphasized Marcella Zalianty.
