SURRENDER – Farmas Albanna
Sometimes we feel like we are always someone full of bad luck, full of failure. We blame how people perceive us, we are confused when faced with a choice, we give up very quickly. Even when we have something that is actually more than enough, we always feel lacking.
What’s wrong with this? Maybe it’s not someone else’s fault, maybe there’s something wrong with the way we think or we’re wrong in placing our body and mind where they shouldn’t be.

WHO’S THE MACHINE – Rizkyansyah Ramadhan
Capitalism arises from artificial axioms, as Nietzsche suggested, where truth is something yet unseen. Every movement in this world is intricately arranged within the embrace of a system, a social force known as capitalism. In the flow of blood moving from the heart throughout the entire body and back, the current of capitalism has unwittingly penetrated. We move with a singular goal, money. Money itself is a capitalist-made system deemed correct, with evidence in everyone’s need for it. The role of money is an attempt to imprison desires to maintain the integrity of the capitalist order. Production continues relentlessly to maximize profits; everything is reterritorialized without regard for circulating social codes. Similarly, in the capitalist perspective, humans are viewed as machines, both consumption and production machines. Activated every day at 7 AM and deactivated after 8 hours of operation, at this point, humans transform into machines romanticized by the term “working.” We are production machines continually generating capitalist products unknowingly, undergoing education to become capitalist machines, and ultimately meeting our end in the hands of capitalism.

The clothes crafted by the Mother in this film represent more than mere functionality; they become a symbolic accumulation of sacrifice, dormant dreams, and a life slowly submerging in her dedication as a mother. Against the backdrop of Feminist theory, the film highlights the traditional role of women in society, showcasing how the mother, as a dressmaker, symbolically ‘shapes’ her child’s life through each stitch and garment she creates
