filmdokumenter.id is a database platform for Indonesian documentaries designed to extend access to documentary films for educational, research, and exhibition purposes. In addition to providing information on Indonesian documentary films, filmdokumenter.id also facilitates film access management to open up opportunities for the wider distribution and broader use of documentary works.
Taking root in efforts to document and manage Festival Film Dokumenter archives, which have been carried out since 2006, filmdokumenter.id was launched in 2023 as a platform for Indonesian documentary access and resources. Through its Educator feature, the platform facilitates access to documentary films as teaching materials in various educational contexts. The Public Screenings feature allows screening organizers to access Indonesian documentaries legally and systematically, while also opening up broader distribution opportunities for filmmakers.
Serving as a bridge between filmmakers and audiences, filmdokumenter.id aims to strengthen Indonesia’s documentary ecosystem through sustainable practices in knowledge management, expanded access, and film distribution.
