Festival Film Dokumenter 2005

Continuing to run from year to year, the 2005 Festival Film Dokumenter (FFD) is the 4th event. Still full of commotion, still full of complications, still full of shortcomings and mistakes. Even so, we still carry the same optimism: that this festival is a learning space for us, for new knowledge, for new experiences. We hope to collect positive things for our next festival and programs. Apart from that, we really hope that you all can find “something” from this activity, and apologize for what is not according to your wishes. Yes, we are stubborn about continuing to maintain the continuity of this festival, year after year. Of course, extraordinary support from various parties is an important part of that.

FFD IV 2005 presented various programs: documentary film competitions, discussions, workshops, film clinics, creator meetings, community meetings, film screenings, photo exhibitions, and so on. In the competition program, apart from competitions for beginners and amateurs, this year’s festival is trying to expand its scope by adding a new category, namely the professional category. This competition program was also carried out with several judging sessions as in previous years, where each film was appreciated by those from various professional and scientific backgrounds.

As from the beginning of the festival, we hope that this competition program will provide a space for appreciation for all levels of society, only film people. Anyone can, has the right, and can create a documentary film work, and receive and receive appreciation. For this reason, with all shortcomings and apologies for its implementation, we extend our salute and appreciation to all of you who are willing to process and participate in this 2005 FFD documentary film competition.

In the non-competition program, the welcome and participation of various parties have made this festival lively and lively as an arena for joint learning. Various films from all over the world were donated by several foreign institutions, arts and cultural institutions, and individuals to be screened for free at this festival. Figures and groups who have sufficient competence and experience are also generous as performers. Apart from that, there are many individuals and institutions who make themselves available to collaborate in organizing this festival. Likewise, appreciation from mass media colleagues means that this festival can be publicized to the wider community.

At last, the volunteers and friends of the organizing committee also gave an extraordinary contribution. To all of you, we express our appreciation and infinite gratitude.

Welcome to the FFD 2005. Hopefully you all can listen well and enjoy it. Lastly, all of this may not be worth enough, it’s nothing. But for us, this festival is something very valuable: as an arena for playing and learning together.
