I’M CONFUSED – Rizky Ridho
This work delves into the human quest for the essence of one’s life, navigating the dilemma of social issues, empathy, sympathy, the environment, morals, beliefs, and resistance. It relates to the relevance of oneself in the ever-improving or possibly deteriorating modernity. Right or wrong is a matter of different perspectives. The concept of human causality in the world is worth questioning. But will this story conclude within this work? Like life that never ends, this piece is merely an allegory representing individuals’ grievances, especially my own. The context of freedom seems broken within empty rules.
RETICENT TIES – Farhan Abyan
An experimental work that delves into the memories of a young child through a blend of non-linear narrative, visual abstraction and deep emotional atmosphere.

Through visual play, this film invites the audience to immerse themselves in important moments in the life of this young child, while exploring themes of freedom of imagination, family warmth, and the journey of identity. This work is not just a film, but a sensory experience that evokes memories and feelings, creating an opportunity for each viewer to reflect on their own personal memories.

Since ancient times, humans have been compelled to live honestly. Living honestly is not always easy. Humans sometimes find themselves trapped in situations that demand them to conceal the truth. This can stem from environmental pressures, social expectations, or even personal discomfort. Despite knowing that these lies only result in fleeting comfort, humans sometimes choose to embrace them to maintain a better self-image.
