Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo kicked off the Jakarta Film Summit 2026 on Tuesday with a pitch for the Indonesian capital as a regional film hub, making the case that the city is equipped to draw more shoots, filmmakers and investors from across the region.

Speaking at the Royal Glass House at Park Hyatt Jakarta, Pramono built his argument around the city’s infrastructure, its economy and its transit system. He held up Busan, the South Korean port city that is home to the Busan International Film Festival, as an example Jakarta could learn from as it grows its own industry.
