South East Asian film fund, Purin Pictures has again handed out $170,000 of finance for a fistful of movie projects. The Spring grants include production support for three feature films, production support for a documentary, and post production aid for another documentary.
Launched in 2017 and operating an open submissions process for the second year, the fund received an increased number of funding applications. “The fact that we continue to see many strong projects from the Philippines and Singapore in particular tells us that these two countries have the most solid support structures for independent filmmaking within the region,” said fund director Aditya Assarat.
The fund will provide production grants of $30,000 each to: drama “Anatomy of Time,” to be directed by Thailand’s Jakrawal Nilthamrong, sand produced by Mai Meksawan; “Ajoomma,” a dramedy about a Korean TV obsessed widow, directed by He Shuming and produced by Tan Si En; “Yuni,” directed by...

Kamila Andini, who was born in 1986, has studied sociology. Her interest in social affairs is also present in her work: Andini has said that in her films, she wants to explore diverse Indonesian identities. Her first full length feature film “The Mirror Never Lies” was a visually impressive coming of age story of a young fatherless Bajau girl in a fishing community. “The Seen and Unseen”, is Andini’s second full length feature film, in addition she has directed two short films. Kamila Andini’s father, Garin Nugroho, is perhaps the most famous Indonesian film director, and he has been involved in producing Andini’s films.
On the occasion of The Seen and Unseen screening at Helsinki Cine Aasia Film Festival 2018, we speak with her about her family ties, her studies, the philosophy behind the film, child actors, and many other topics

“A young girl seeks out imaginative ways to cope with the death of her twin brother” is how the film is described on IMDb. This is not a wrong way to summarize director Kamila Andini’s third work, “The Seen and Unseen”, but I guess most of the people who’ve watched the film will agree with me that this tagline simplifies the complex experiences the movie presents to us.
If the story happened in the U.S., we might see the main character, a girl named Tantri inventing her own peculiar routines or rituals to cope with the condition of her brother Tantra. Yet, this is not the case here. In director Andini’s world, all the main characters are deeply enmeshed in their culture, in this case, a Balinese way to life. Tantra will put on a shadow play, or play some traditional keyboard music for his sister.
