By incorporating elements that resonate with Indonesian culture, she sought to make the movie more relevant to local audiences.
Furthermore, the 2024 KIFF will feature two captivating independent short films, “Bori” and “Apres Girl,” under the Special Feature presented by the KCCI category. Both films will be screened in Indonesia for the first time. “Bori” is a heartwarming movie about an 11-year-old girl, the only family member who can hear.
