As a movie enthusiast who has witnessed the transformative power of cinema firsthand, I am genuinely excited about the upcoming documentary “Sampai Mati.” Having lived through the aftermath of the 2002 Bali bombings and losing someone dear to me in those tragic events, it’s heartening to see a film that aims to honor the victims and their stories.
The documentary titled “Sampai Mati” (Until Death) – a film delving into the aftermath experienced by Australian survivors and Balinese residents post the 2002 Bali bombings – will be showcased during the first ever JAFF Market held in Yogyakarta.
The project, led by Australian director Ben Golotta and produced by Morgan Wright, has a deeply emotional tie to the devastating incidents, as Golotta tragically lost his cousin Angela during the occurrences that took 202 lives.
Golotta shares that the account of the Bali Bombings holds deep significance in his family’s history. This upcoming film endeavors to untangle the intricate web of feelings, recollections, and transformations that have marked Bali and Australia since the 2002 incident. The director intends to craft a tribute to his cousin Angela and the other victims, while making sure future generations comprehend the far-reaching effects this tragedy had on both countries.
The documentary, still under initial stages of production at Repeater Productions (Australia), teams up Golotta with Indonesian author Putu Juli Sastrawan. Their aim is to present a dual perspective – from Australia and Indonesia – on recovery and strength found after a devastating event.
Producer Wright perceives opportunities for worldwide dissemination. “At the JAFF market, I aim to forge connections with international distributors, industry experts, and possible collaborators who are passionate about emotionally impactful, culturally diverse documentaries,” Wright mentions. The producer is confident that the film’s topics of restoration and tenacity will strike a chord with global viewers.
Golotta considers Indonesian collaboration crucial for the project’s growth. He explains that teaming up with Indonesian talent enables us to combine our cultures and craft stories that strongly appeal to both Australian and Indonesian audiences. He also highlights Indonesia’s expanding market as a chance for wider audience engagement. The director underscores that cross-cultural storytelling can result in unique methods that reflect common experiences between the two countries.
The JAFF Market coincides with the Jogja-Netpac Asian Film Festival, taking place from December 3rd to 5th. The film “Sampai Mati” can be found on the Future Project stage of this market.
