Kapanlagi.com - Entering the film industry abroad is not an easy task as it is highly competitive. Tara Zulfikar, a young filmmaker from Indonesia, is currently pursuing her career in the film world in NY, America with great enthusiasm. A graduate of the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, she is indeed still at the beginning of her journey. However, she already has a wealth of interesting experience as a director, cinematographer, and producer.
As a filmmaker who loves visual storytelling, Tara directed Runaway, a music video for musician Izzy Ravana and mTwenty. Released in December 2022, Runaway received appreciation at various film festivals, including a jury nomination at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY) 2023 and the Best Music Video award at the Independent Shorts Awards and Fusion Film Festival.
Since its release, Runaway has been viewed thousands of times on YouTube and attracted tens of thousands of viewers on Instagram, even making it onto the list of “Music Video Releases You Need To Check Out” by @loadingunderground. For Tara, this project has become one of the experiences that opened her eyes to the creative industry outside Indonesia.
In addition to directing, the world of cinematography is something that excites Tara. She became the Director of Photography for SKIN BODIES, an experimental short film directed by a young American creator, Ilina Bhatia, and developed by Edith Saldanha, a dancer, artist, and actress from Germany. Skin Bodies is the first part of a performative triptych that explores structural violence and its impact on the body.
This project is supported by Goethe-Institut München, Kulturfonds Stadt München, and Stadt Salzburg, and is currently awaiting screening schedules in galleries in Germany, Belgium, and New York City. With an intimate and experimental visual approach, Tara learned a lot about how cinematography can be a powerful tool for expression.
As a producer, Tara is also continuously seeking new experiences. One of her projects, DINNER WITH MY DEAD SON (2024), a short film by Ilina Bhatia, successfully won the Best Experimental Film category at the Absurd Film Festival in Italy and was selected for the official selection of the HollyShorts Film Festival, a prestigious festival that qualifies for the Academy Awards.
Tara is also involved as the Unit Production Manager in the film DOUBLE HAPPINESS, produced by Rollin Studios, directed by American actress Shari Albert, known for The Brothers McMullen. This project also involves cinematographer Adam Kolodny, who previously worked on THE FEATHERWEIGHT (2024), a film that premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival.
From Jakarta to New York, Tara's journey is still long and full of challenges. Building connections, seeking new projects, and understanding the dynamics of the film industry abroad are part of the learning process she is undergoing.
Although she is still at the beginning of her career, she strives to enjoy every opportunity that comes her way and continues to hone her skills. For her, the most important thing is to keep creating, growing, and bringing her unique perspective as a young Indonesian filmmaker to the global stage.
