Mengikuti perjalanannya selama empat tahun, film ini mendokumentasikan gerakan melawan Talaq, perjuangan perempuan muslim untuk membebaskan diri dari suara-suara yang menggurui di dalam masyarakat, serta melawan agenda-agenda ekster- nal yang ingin menggunakan pergerakan wanita untuk agenda politik mereka sendiri.

Kinetic 25-29 NOV 2020

Discussing the main theme of JAFF 2020. ‘Kinetic’ refers to the motion of materials and force as well as its energy. This could be linked to the illusory motion which becomes the main support in cinema. In the context of Asian cinema, ‘kinetic’ may be described as the Asian cinematic motion towards excellence through the develop- ment rate of technology and media transformation. In other words, ‘kinetic’ highlights the sustainability of the Asian cinema’s dynamic motion in order to achieve its glory.

Mendiskusikan tema utama JAFF tahun 2020. ‘Kinetik’ mengacu pada gerakan material benda dan gaya serta energi yang terkait dengannya. Hal ini dapat dikaitkan dengan ilusi gerakan yang menjadi tumpuan dalam sinema. Pada konteks sinema Asia, ‘Kinetik’ dapat diartikan sebagai gerakan sinema Asia menuju keunggulan melalui kecepatan perkembangan arus teknologi dan transformasi media. Dengan kata lain, ‘Kinetik’ menyoroti pentingnya menopang gerakan dinamis bioskop-bioskop Asia untuk mencapai kejayaan
