Jakarta World Cinema aims to bring back its First Feature Competition next year, open to filmmakers from around the world and judged by an international jury.

This year’s edition did not accept submissions. The competition was put on hold because of the difficulty of assembling an international jury.

“[Previously] we’ve only had Indonesian judges,” festival director Shandy Gasella tells Variety.
