SHORT FILMS SCREENING AND DISCUSSION JANUARY 2006

MINIKINO: Featuring EDWIN
===============================

Beberapa tahun lalu, Edwin datang ke pemutaran bulanan Minikino di Oktagonmembawa film yang ia anggap karya pertamanya, "A Very Slow Breakfast".

Pertemuan pertama Minikino dengan Edwin itu berlanjut ke program-program Minikino selanjutnya, baik di Indonesia maupun di luar Indonesia. Kali ini Minikino mendapat kehormatan untuk mem-premiere karya terbaru Edwin, "Percakapan yang Membosankan", bersamaan dengan premiere film pendek ini di 35th International Film Festival Rotterdam, di mana film pendek ini masuk kompetisi Tiger Cub.

Sebagai seorang filmmaker Indonesia yang antusias dengan format film pendek, Edwin juga banyak terlibat dalam produksi-produksi besar perfilman di Indonesia. Pada tahun 2005, selain sebagai asisten sutradara dalam film Gie (Riri Riza/Miles Production) dan "Untuk Rena" dari Miles Production, satu karya Edwin, "Kara Anak Sebatang Pohon" juga meraih penghargaan Film Pendek Terbaik dari FFI 2005. Film yang sama sempat terpilih untuk diputar di Directors' Fortnight, Cannes Film Festival 2005.

Bulan ini, Minikino menampilkan film-film pendek karya Edwin dan menelusuri perjalanannya - yang masih akan terus berlanjut.

A few years ago, Edwin came to Minikino's monthly short film screenings in Oktagon bringing what he regards as his first film, "A Very Slow Breakfast." This first contact between Minikino and Edwin soon continued to other Minikino programs, in Indonesia and overseas. This time Minikino is honored to premiere his newest work, "A Very Boring Conversation", together with an international premiere at the 35th International Film Festival Rotterdam, where this short film will compete for the Tiger Cub Awards.

As an Indonesian filmmaker who is passionate about the short film format, Edwin is involved in Indonesia's major productions as well. In 2005, after being assistant director in "Gie" (Riri Riza/Miles Production) and "Untuk Rena" of Miles Production, he received Best Short Film Award for "Kara the Daughter of a Tree" at the Indonesian Film Festival 2005. The same film was selected to screen at Directors' Fortnight, Cannes Film Festival 2005.

Edwin has gone a long way and this month, Minikino presents his short films to trace the road he has taken - and to follow where he will be going next.

A VERY SLOW BREAKFAST
Edwin, Indonesia 2002, 05'40"

Morning. Time for breakfast, when family values are going down the drain, narrow and silent. A search for the meaning of becoming an ideal Indonesian family.

(Dajang Soembi, The Woman Who Is Married To A Dog)
Edwin, Indonesia 2004, 7 minutes

The legend of Dajang Soembi, retold. Her son turns around to be a killer because he wants to be his own mother's lover.


Kara Anak Sebatang Pohon (Kara The Daughter Of A Tree)
Edwin, Indonesia 2005, 7 minutes

A girl lost her mother. Ronald McDonald is convicted. The media peeps in her private life. She's disturbed, and went to see Ronald McDonald.


A Very Boring Conversation (Sebuah Percakapan yang Sangat Membosankan)

The conversation starts from coments about music and internet emails, then slowly moved to unlogical things that could possibly change a 'mother-son relationship' to a 'man-woman relationship'.
