Festival Film Purbalingga (FFP) is an annual festival focusing on film exhibition and production as a medium of expression. Entering its 17th year, FFP consistently engages high school students in Banyumas Raya region to actively participate in every movement. The various films produced by students are mostly collaborative works of film production with various educational institutions, both formal and alternative. This year, FFP collaborated with Festival Film Dokumenter to screen Panderes and Pangidep (Achmad Ulfi, 2014), Tambang Pasir (Sekar Ayu, 2019), and Korban Bendung Menganti (Nur Hidayatul Fitria, 2015). This screening served as an introduction to the activation that FFP has been working on.
