Producer Chand Parwez Ready to Release Four Films, From 'YOWIS BEN 3' to 'YUNI'

Kapanlagi.com - For two years, the Starvision production house founded by Chand Parwez Servia has not released any films in theaters. Seeing that the number of Covid-19 cases has decreased, in the next three months, he will screen four titles gradually.

Starting with YOWIS BEN 3 directed by Fajar Nugros and Bayu Skak, YUNI which received an award at the Toronto International Film Festival, the thriller drama TEKA TEKI TIKA directed by Ernest Prakasa, and CINTA PERTAMA, KEDUA & KETIGA directed by Gina S Noer.

The release of these four family-themed films is not just to liven up the theaters. Parwez sees it as a means to bring creators closer to their audience.

"We are releasing four films to enliven the theaters. Is that all? No. Because theaters are where creators directly interact with their audience. We need that. We need to be able to express our work in theaters and invigorate the national film industry," said Parwez when met at Epicentrum XXI, Rasuna Said area, Monday (8/11/2021).

1. Reasons for Prioritizing 'YOWIS BEN 3'

The film YOWIS BEN 3, starring Bayu Skak, Joshua Suherman, and Brandon Salim, will be released earlier than three other titles. Chand Parwez has his own reasons for doing so.

"This film is highly anticipated by the people in the region, without neglecting the city dwellers. That's why I thought I should deliver it soon. YOWIS BEN 3 is the best choice to open the celebration and will be followed by other films," said Parwez.

YOWIS BEN 3 will be released on November 25. Followed by YUNI on December 9, and then TEKA TEKI TIKA on December 23. The fourth film, starring Angga Yunanda, titled CINTA PERTAMA KEDUA & KETIGA, will be released on January 6, 2022.
