Kami sangat senang bisa berbagi pengetahuan dan kegembiraan akan program-program yang telah kami susun satu tahun belakangan ini. Sebagai sebuah festival filem, kami bahagia ARKIPEL tetap konsisten menjadi bagian dari usaha-usaha yang membangun medan pertemuan dan berbagi pengetahuan/pengalaman tentang sinema, serta sebagai sarana berjejaring antarpegiat media audio-visual dan pelaku-pelaku filem di tingkat komunitas. Sebagai sebuah organisasi, Forum Lenteng dikelola oleh pegiat-pegiat dengan latar belakang disiplin pengetahuan yang beragam. Program festival ARKIPEL diniatkan sebagai ruang belajar lintas disiplin, yang mencoba mencari titik temu dari keragaman pengetahuan itu, juga sebagai sarana alternatif untuk menspekulasikan gagasan-gagasan baru tentang media, khususnya sinema, dan organisasi festival filem. Peradaban Sinema dalam Pameran kini hadir untuk ketiga kalinya dengan nama baru, KULTURSINEMA. Pameran ini bertajuk “Menangkap Cahaya”, dikuratori oleh Mahardika Yudha yang menyoroti wacana produksi sinema di Indonesia periode 1920-an sampai 1940-an. Filem-filem yang ditayangkan, antara lain adalah karya-karya yang dibuat oleh Kwee Zwan Liang, The Teng Cun, Wong Bersaudara, dan Tan Tjoei Hock. Filem-filem tersebut merupakan koleksi dari EYE Filmmuseum, Amsterdam, Belanda serta Sinematek Indonesia. Tahun ini ARKIPEL juga mempresentasikan salah satu Program Kuratorial, tentang filem Park Lanes (2015) karya Kevin Jerome Everson, yang dikuratori oleh Otty Widasari, ke dalam bentuk pameran. Bertajuk “Park Lanes: Simulasi Kecil Kebudayaan di Ruang Besar Peradaban”, pameran ini merupakan 4 | ARKIPEL: SOCIAL/KAPITAL [exhibition catalogue] presentasi tentang kerja riset mengenai dunia kerja yang merepresentasikan sebuah lingkup kecil kebudayaan masyarakat tertentu di sebuah lokasi yang menjadi ranah peradaban global masyarakat-manusia. Forum Sinema, Gudang Sarinah, akan menjadi ruang presentasi pameran ini. Rangkaian pameran KULTURSINEMA dan “Park Lanes” akan dihelat di Gudang Sarinah Ekosistem selama ARKIPEL berlangsung dengan dukungan Direktorat Jenderal Kebudayaan, Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia; Kedutaan Besar Kerajaan Belanda; dan Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat. Dukungan ini menandakan suatu perkembangan positif, bahwa telah meningkatnya perhatian Pemerintah terhadap bidang sinema semacam ini. Bagi ARKIPEL sendiri, hal ini merupakan suatu capaian tertentu dalam hal kemitraan. Semoga hubungan kerja sama antara Forum Lenteng dan Pemerintah dapat terus berlanjut dan memicu perwujudan berbagai inisiatif kreatif yang lebih baik di masa depan. Demikian juga dengan dukungan dari lembaga-lembaga kebudayaan negara-negara sahabat dan lembaga-lembaga swasta, yang selama ini memfasilitasi Forum Lenteng dan mendorong terwujudnya berbagai ide kreatif yang berhubungan dengan filem, khususnya festival ARKIPEL. j 4rd JAKARTA INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY & EXPERIMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL 2016 | 5 Foreword of Festival Director Yuki Aditya Welcome to the fourth edition of ARKIPEL - Jakarta International Documentary & Experimental Film Festival, and this year’s theme is social/ kapital. We are excited to share knowledge and excitement with programs we’ve compiled this year.

As an organization, Forum Lenteng is managed by activist with diverse background of knowledge and disciplines. The festival program of ARKIPEL is intended as an interdisciplinary learning space, which is trying to find common ground on the diversity of knowledge, as well as alternative means to speculate about new ideas about media, especially cinema and film festival organization. Cinema Culture in Exhibition is now available for the third time with a new name, KULTURSINEMA. The exhibition entitled “Capturing the Lights” is curated by Mahardika Yudha; it will highlight a period of cinema production in Indonesia from the 1920s to 1940s. The exhibition will showcase the works of Kwee Zwan Liang, The Teng Cun, Wong Brothers, and Tan Tjoei Hock.
