Film Style in Indonesian Cinema, 1998-2018 investigates the role of film style during the rebirth of Indonesian cinema following the collapse of General Suharto's New Order regime. Purnama argues that the renewal of Indonesian cinema was influenced by filmmakers who revamped the cinematic images of Indonesian film by foregrounding visual stylisation using cinematography and production design techniques. They transformed the aesthetic of Indonesian film to become stylistically complex with a pronounced degree of visual sophistication, offering local audiences pictorially appealing and engaging cinematic experiences.
Through a close analysis of lighting, production design, and camera movement in contemporary films such as?Sang Pencerah, Laskar Pelangi, and The Raid: Redemption, Purnama highlights the significance of film style and the art of film-making to the cinematographers and production designers who revitalised Indonesian cinema in the 21st Century.
Dr Ari Purnama is Assistant Professor of Film and Screen Media in the Department of Media and Culture Studies at Utrecht University. He is the author of Film Style in Indonesian Cinema, 1998–2018: Lighting, Production Design and Camera Movement (Edinburgh University Press, 2023).
