Collaboration between VIDIO and IMDE in the AKTIF Program of the Ministry of Creative Economy/Creative Economy Agency of the Republic of Indonesia

Kapanlagi.com - As part of a shared commitment to promote a more inclusive and professional national film ecosystem, Vidio and the Emtek Digital Media Institute (IMDE) collaborate with the Ministry of Creative Economy/Creative Economy Agency in organizing the Creative Acceleration (AKTIF) program for the Film Subsector: Bootcamp for Distribution and Promotion of Fiction Films, which will take place in Yogyakarta from July 11-13, 2025.

The AKTIF program serves as a strategic space for young filmmakers to hone their skills, particularly in the aspects of distribution and promotion of film works—a crucial stage for penetrating the market and digital platforms. Through an intensive practical approach, participants are equipped with materials on legal distribution, the commercial film ecosystem, as well as storytelling and editing strategies for marketing and film promotion needs.

"AKTIF is not just a space for expression, but an accelerator for young filmmakers who are ready to grow. These works must enter the industry, be present on platforms, and open sustainable career opportunities," said Agustini Rahayu, Deputy for Media Creativity, Ministry of Creative Economy/Creative Economy Agency.

As the main partner, Vidio, a leading OTT platform in Indonesia, also plays a role in opening screening access for young filmmakers. A total of 10 selected works from the AKTIF program will receive distribution facilitation and the opportunity to be exclusively screened on the Vidio platform.

"At Vidio, we believe that the works of our nation's children should be given space to grow and reach a wider audience. Through AKTIF, we strive to be a bridge between the creativity of young filmmakers and the reality of the industry," said Ryan Monoarfa, Head of Original Production and Development, Vidio.

Meanwhile, the Emtek Digital Media Institute (IMDE), as an industry-based educational institution under Emtek, is present to support the strengthening of participants' technical competencies, particularly in production and distribution strategy formulation.

"IMDE is committed to bridging young talent with industry needs. Collaboration with Ekraf and Vidio in AKTIF is a concrete step in equipping young filmmakers with relevant skills that can be directly applied in the workforce," explained Adlino Dananjaya, Head of Production Entertainment Study Program, IMDE.

The AKTIF program for the Film Subsector in Yogyakarta is attended by 35 selected participants from various regions—all young filmmakers who have shown readiness to enter the film industry ecosystem. In addition to training, they also receive direct guidance from practitioners such as Barry Maheswara (Arma Law), Nadia Saraswati (MD Entertainment), Aline Jusria (Film Editor), and Nazira C. Noer (Poplicist).

The collaboration between the government, the industrial sector, and educational institutions serves as a concrete example of how synergy can accelerate the emergence of new talents that are not only creative but also commercially ready. Emtek, through Vidio and IMDE, will continue to support similar initiatives in various regions of Indonesia as part of its commitment to the sustainable and competitive development of the national creative industry.
