The Indonesian Film Festival (IFF) has become a special part of life in Melbourne. Now in its sixteenth year IFF continues to adapt to changing challenges. Last year during the pandemic the IFF organisers adapted by holding most IFF events on-line. What is the biggest challenge this year?


Reina Wibawa is a student at the University of Melbourne.  She is the co-ordinator of media relations and media partnerships for IFF 2022.  Arletta Celestine Witaria is Vice Project Manager of this year’s IFF.  They discuss the selection of films to be shown at IFF and explain to Sri Dean why changes have been made to the format of IFF this year.
