Indonesia is officially targeting Country of Honor status at Cannes in 2028.

Culture Minister Fadli Zon, speaking to Variety at Cannes, laid out a sweeping strategy to move Indonesia from the margins of the international screen industry toward what he describes as a central and influential role within it.

“That is not only about prestige, but about creating a larger international platform for Indonesian cinema, culture, and creative talent,” Zon says of the 2028 ambition.
