The fifth edition of the Minikino Hybrid Internship for Film Festival Writers is now accepting applications from 21-30 years old residing in Indonesia or overseas who have a passion for film critique and short film festivals. This program offers participants the chance to broaden their horizons and connect with both Indonesian and international filmmakers, as well as professionals from the short film industry.
Through this program, participants can gain valuable insights into the world of film critique and film festival organization. They will have the opportunity to network with filmmakers and industry experts, fostering meaningful connections that can benefit their future endeavors in the film industry.
Bali-Glasgow Filmmaker and Programme Exchange is a residency program for Indonesian and Scottish filmmakers that is made possible with the support of Connections Through Culture (CTC), a grant scheme run by the British Council in the UK and East Asia to foster international collaborations through arts and culture. This program fosters creative dialogue around environmental sustainability, social change, and empowerment between Scotland and Indonesia through an exchange of short films, filmmaker residencies, and workshops at each other’s festivals. Glasgow Short Film Festival (GSFF) and Minikino will host filmmakers from the partner country, offering residencies that include community workshops, masterclasses, and collaborations with local production networks. The project aims to build common ground around shared challenges and develop plans for long-term collaboration focused on social change and inclusion.
As an organization focused on short films, Minikino Film Week, the Bali International Short Film Festival, serves as the opening event for its annual public program series. Since 2002, this festival has initiated various routine activities as well as new events aimed at fostering critical thinking through visual culture.
In addition, Minikino organizes workshops on topics such as visual storytelling, animated and non-animated filmmaking, as well as Cinema Club sessions to discuss short films. These activities are specifically designed for children and teenagers aged 6–17, a generation highly exposed to the visual culture of social media, to enhance their analytical skills and creativity.
