TheIndonesian Film Festival (Indonesian:Festival Film Indonesia, 'FFI') is an annual awards ceremony organised by theIndonesian Film Board and theMinistry of Culture to celebrate cinematic achievements in the Indonesian film industry. During the festival, theCitra Awards winners are announced and the best Indonesian films of the year are presented.
The awards ceremony was first held in 1955 as thePekan Apresiasi Film Nasional (National Film Appreciation Week). It changed to Festival Film Indonesia in 1973. In 1986, the festival included awards for television movies calledVidia Awards.
In 1955, 1960, and 1967, Pekan Apresiasi Film Nasional (English: National Film Appreciation Week) was held inJakarta. From 1973 to 1992, the ceremony was renamed Festival Film Indonesia and became an annual event. The trophy/ award was named Piala Citra (Citra Award). The All-Indonesia Cinema Owners' Association (Gabungan Pengusaha Bioskop Seluruh Indonesia, or GPBSI) awarded the Antemas Prize, named for the producerAntemas.[2] From 1993 to 2003, the festival did not take place because the quantity of good Indonesian movies had dropped significantly. In the 1990s, most Indonesian movie producers created low budget,B movies. Producers suffered revenue losses because of growing piracy. Since 1992, American, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese movies have taken over many theaters. Low budget Indonesian movies get the dregs, such as open theatre cinemas, portable cinemas, direct to video, or on TV. In 2004 the Indonesian Film Festival committee launched and returned the event to an annual affair. In 2014 the Indonesian Film Board was formed and FFI changed the award statuette. In 2017 the Indonesian Film Board added two more awards for unique and creative films, raising the total to 21. In 2018 awards were given in 23 categories.[3]
Citra Awards are accolades by the Committee to recognize excellence of professionals in theIndonesian film industry, including directors,actors and writers.
In 2009, the Indonesian Film Festival Committee replaced the National Body of Motion Picture as the official event organizer of the Indonesian Film Festival. The Committee was authorized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Indonesia to organize the operational process of Citra Awards' ceremony and the selection (voting) of nominations and winners.[4]
In 2014, the Indonesian Film Board replaced the Indonesian Film Festival Committee as the festival organizer. The festival is audited byDeloitte. The Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia oversees the organizer.
