Coming Soon, the Film 'BERTAUT RINDU' Holds a Prom Night Themed Gala Premiere - Invites the Audience to Nostalgia

This gala premiere was attended by the cast and the team behind the scenes, including director Rako Prijanto, executive producer David S. Suwarto, producer MGS. Fahri Fahrudin, screenplay writer Nuridzka Mutiaradini, and Tian Topandi, the author of the novel BERTAUT RINDU which is the source of the film's story.

Also present were the main and supporting cast, such as Adhisty Zara (Jovanka), Ari Irham (Magnus), Aida Nurmala (Mama Magnus), Willem Bevers (Papa Magnus), Putri Ayudya (Mama Jovanka), Irgi Achmad Fahrezi (Papa Jovanka), Nadine Alexandra, Aulia Deas, and Bertram Beryl.

This special night was designed as a space for nostalgia and reflection, especially for the younger generation and parents. With the theme of Prom Night, guests arrived in blue-themed outfits—symbolizing emotions, maturity, and the honesty of feelings that are at the core of this film.

In an interview session, Adhisty Zara expressed her hopes regarding the impact of the film. "I hope this film can be a friend to anyone who is struggling to achieve their dreams," she stated.

"And for friends who have ever felt forced or unheard, I hope you can get closer to your parents and have the courage to say what you want for your future. Family should be a support system, not a source of pressure," said Zara with deep emotion.

One of the most memorable moments at the gala premiere was Jasmine Nadya's performance of the OST BERTAUT RINDU song titled "Seiring". This song accompanied the audience's emotions throughout the night, serving as a bridge that connected the stories of Jovanka and Magnus with the personal experiences of the audience who have faced similar conflicts in their lives.

Not only that, the event also featured two touching emotional installations: a bulletin board titled Letters to My Past Self, which is a collection of messages from the audience displayed as a public installation; and an On-The-Spot Poetry session with young poet Hamzah Muhammad, who read poetry spontaneously based on the emotions captured that night.

The film BERTAUT RINDU is scheduled to be released simultaneously in cinemas across Indonesia starting July 31, 2025. With a touching story that is close and relevant to the dynamics of the relationship between parents and children, this film serves as an open invitation for families to listen to each other, understand each other, and be a support system for one another.
