Indonesian films have already broken the all-time annual admissions record at the local box office this year, within just nine months, with horror comedy Agak Laen topping the box office and other local titles taking the next five places in the top ten. Meanwhile, Indonesian arthouse films continue to make waves on the international festival circuit, with Tumpal Tampubolon’s Crocodile Tears premiering in Toronto and Loeloe Hendra’s Tale Of The Land winning the FIPRESCI Prize in Busan.
