Spotlighting Indonesia's Oscar Contenders
Spotlighting Indonesia's Oscar Contenders
In 2025, LAIFF collaborated with Cerita Films and the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Los Angeles to present a special screening program featuring Sore, Daly City, and Little Rebels Cinema Club—all Indonesian films officially submitted for consideration for the 98th Academy Awards (Oscars 2026). The screenings were followed by discussions with Sore lead actor Sheila Dara, producer Suryana Paramita, and director Yandy Laurens, alongside the cast of Daly City and the director of Little Rebels Cinema Club. Driven by strong audience enthusiasm, the event sold out within days, highlighting LAIFF's growing role as a platform for Indonesian cinema on the international stage.
