Jakarta World Cinema festival has announced plans to reinstate its First Feature Competition for the upcoming edition, reopening the contest to filmmakers worldwide. This move marks a return after the competition was paused in the current year.
The festival's organizers cited difficulties in assembling an international jury as the main reason for the competition's suspension this year. Previously, the competition was judged exclusively by Indonesian panelists.
With the relaunch, Jakarta World Cinema aims to elevate the competition's profile by involving an international jury, enhancing the event's global appeal and credibility. Filmmakers from all countries will be eligible to submit their debut feature films.
The First Feature Competition is a significant platform within the festival, designed to spotlight emerging talent and provide filmmakers with an opportunity to gain international recognition. Its revival signals Jakarta World Cinema's commitment to fostering new voices in cinema on a worldwide scale.
