Kapanlagi.com - Artist, director, and film producer Lola Amaria showed solidarity for Palestine by organizing a screening of the film EKSIL at XXI Epicentrum, Kuningan, Jakarta, on Thursday (7/12/2023).

The proceeds from ticket sales were donated to the victims in Palestine through the Palestinian Embassy in Indonesia.

"For tonight, the total amount announced is 41 million. But it continues to grow and doesn't stop here. The most important thing for us is that they are willing to donate. We are very grateful, many are enthusiastic about donating to help our brothers and sisters in Palestine," said Lola Amaria after the screening of the film EKSIL.

1. Joyful Reception

According to Lola Amaria, the Embassy of Palestine in Indonesia is also delighted with the solidarity action she has taken.

"They (the Palestinian Ambassador) are happy with the screening of the film EKSIL together. They know that many Indonesians support the independence of Palestine in order to end this war. I personally am concerned about the number of casualties caused by this war," she said.

The film EKSIL tells the story of the journey of survivors or exiles who were expelled from their own country due to the events of the September 30 Movement in 1965. The film EKSIL also successfully won the Best Long Documentary Film Citra Trophy at the Indonesian Film Festival (FFI) 2023.

2. Give Space

"The process of making this film was long and difficult. It was not easy to meet with them (the Exiles). I started from 2013 until 2015. And during that journey, all the sources had passed away because they were all old. Because of that condition, I finally took my team to Europe for 3 months to capture and interview all of them who appear in this film," said Lola Amaria.

Furthermore, Lola Amaria hopes that XXI or other cinemas will soon provide space for the film EKSIL to be watched by the general public.

"I have submitted since May (2023). But there has been no response from XXI," said Lola Amaria.
