Aku Senang, Maka Aku Nonton Film

Program Notes

This session invites participants to share their experiences in celebrating joy through film. As a counterpoint to the previous session’s immersion in melancholy, this session explores another emotional realm. Can film be used as a vehicle in sharing our happiness? Or do we not need it at all, because finding happiness is entirely within our power?

This session is facilitated by Ali Ma’ruf and is open to the public upon registration. This is a participatory activity with a maximum quota of 20 people on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration information will be announced soon on our social media, @ffdjogja.
