Jakarta World Cinema Cristian Mungiu’s Palme d’Or winner “Fjord” took the audience award at Jakarta World Cinema, which wrapped with Banjong Pisanthanakun’s Thai horror film “Inherit” and handed three Indonesian short filmmakers funding for their first features.
“Fjord,” which also opened the festival, won the Jakarta World Cinema Audience Award, the event’s only feature prize.
The closing ceremony also unveiled the winners of the KlikFilm Short Movie Competition, run by the Indonesian streaming platform that powers the festival. Open for submissions from April to July, the competition drew more than 300 shorts from across Indonesia. The jury comprised horror director Joko Anwar (“Impetigore”), writer-director Gina S. Noer (“Two Blue Stripes”) and Khozy Rizal, whose short “Basri & Salma in a Never-Ending Comedy” played in competition at Cannes.
