Jakarta Film Week is set to unspool its fourth edition Oct. 23-27, showcasing emerging filmmakers and industry-building initiatives. The festival’s Jakarta Film Fund has selected three winners: “If You’re Happy, I’m Happy” (Lanyah Films, dir. Mauliya Maila R.), “Piknik Bersama Maut” (Kapsul Waktu Studio, dir. Nara Nugroho) and “Followers” (89 Films, dir. Kevin Rahardjo). Each project receives a IDR50 million ($3,100) grant and production support.

The event’s Producers Lab program notched an international win, with “The Heirlooms” landing a spot at South Korea’s Goedam Residency. Two other Indonesian projects, “Virgin Bash” and “Dancing Gale,” scored awards at BiFaN’s NAFF Project Market 2024.

Festival director Rina Damayanti touted the event as a platform for Jakarta’s rich storytelling. Program manager Novi Hanabi expressed hope that the fund will continue to launch films onto national and international stages.

The lineup will include screenings, masterclasses, talks and an awards night, building on last year’s edition which drew thousands of attendees.

The Royal Exchange Theatre, Wall to Wall North and Warner Bros. Discovery Access have unveiled the quartet of scribes selected for the 2024 WBD Access Northern Writers Program. Joe McNally, Kamal Kaan, Katie Mulgrew and Natalie Beech will participate in a six-month scheme designed to elevate their stage and screen writing skills.

Participants will engage in workshops and sessions led by industry pros, including writer Mike Bartlett, agent Matt Connell and editorial teams from various networks.

The program concludes with each writer penning a one-hour TV pilot spec script, guided by a professional script editor and Wall to Wall North executive producer. Additionally, writers will receive one-on-one mentorship from Royal Exchange Theatre dramaturg Suzanne Bell to hone their playwriting skills.
