Indonesia Launches Global Producer Exchange

The JAFF Market in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, has introduced its first Producers Exchange program, featuring 14 selected international producers. Running from November 28 to 30, this initiative aims to cultivate partnerships between global and Indonesian film industry professionals.

The program, sponsored by Amar Bank, is designed to facilitate tailored meetings, connecting visiting producers with Indonesian collaborators, rights holders, and exhibitors. Discussions will cover adaptation, financing, co-production, and distribution strategies, reinforcing Indonesia's role as a creative and production partner.

Notable past projects from participating producers include "Rehana Maryam Noor," "Mother Bhumi," and "The Tourist." The JAFF Market runs concurrently with the Jogja-Netpac Asian Film Festival, which itself commenced on November 28 and concludes on December 5. The Producers Exchange also includes a partnership with the Adelaide Film Festival, further expanding its reach.

Each selected producer receives accommodation, market accreditation, and access to networking events. This initiative underscores JAFF Market's commitment to building lasting international film industry relationships and facilitating access to diverse audiences.
