September Ceria

Sinopsis Film

This video was made for an exhibition project commemorating the political tragedy in Indonesia in September 1965. The exhibition was organized by Kedai Kebun Forum Yogyakarta. With the title "September Something. This 3 minute video capture was taken from a long duration which was full of tense situations. In this capture I deliberately took about the joy of children who are full of laughter, joy, hope and the future. This innocent little child named Ade Irma Suryani became a victim of cruelty and was shot dead by a barrage of stray bullets because her father, General AH Nasution, was still able to escape. This source of the film was taken from VCD G30S/PKI (30 September Movement/Indonesian Communist Party) directed by Arifin C. Noer. This more than 2 hour long film is known as a New Order political propaganda film.
