Indonesian production house KawanKawan Media is in Busan with two projects. “The Science of Fictions,” directed by Yosep Anggi Noen, premiered at Locarno where it won a special mention. It is playing at the Busan International Film Festival as part of the ‘A Window On Asian Cinema’ strand. The film is essentially a history of Indonesia told through the memory of a mute man.
“I am talking about how big political events give an impact to personal bodies,” Noen told Variety. “This film is also telling the story about the relevance of the camera as a tool to share the truth, but also create the fiction. But in this contemporary era, we can not make a bold line between truth and fiction, they are shadowing each other.”
KawanKawan co produced “The Science of Fictions” with fellow Indonesian outfit Angka Fortuna Sinema. China’s Rediance is handling international sales.
