In these juxtaposition of images represents reality and an imagined realm, probably a wishful thinking, from Abi. While with the male Abi is constrained, it was a study of constrained melancholy, i actually ache when i saw it. We can see with the female they can interact more freely, exchanging glances, touches, etc. The difference can be seen in the different nuance of the situation: in the Red filtered scene we can see him being involved with a female counterpart, while in the blue it was a male instead of a female. We met a man named Abi was involved in two similar situations. Anyway, this piece told us a story in a surrealist approach, there was not much dialogue, enriched only by the accompaniment of musical notes that complement the mood. One of my favorite piece was the opening segment by Tika Pramesti called Caka Mata or 1/2 (i am not sure what does “caka” means in bahasa indonesia or in english, anybody knows? or is it just an anagram for kaca mata (eye glasses)?). Just like other Anthologies, it like a jumbled bag of Bertie-Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, for the lack of better terms, despite some odd ones you can find some pieces that are special. Through Sanubari Jakarta, we were told 10 love stories through short films by 10 different directors within 100 minutes. LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) rarely made appearance as a theme in Indonesian local cinema, i guess this mirrors our local society which still dominantly intolerant, close-minded, considering the issue as a taboo, and often give hostile response towards the theme. Watching Sanubari Jakarta aka Jakarta Deep Down reminds me of Paris Je T’aime, because of the use of the name of the city and the anthology format. Anthologies are like a compilation of shorts with interconnecting strings or themes. Over its five years, the Salzburg Global LGBT Forum has had the pleasure of hosting several impromptu LGBT film festivals, complete with screenings and Q&A sessions with the filmmakers. Several of the films featured have had their world or European première at the Forum.I believe that great things often come in small packages, that’s why i love shorts as well.
