The festival, which was said to have been attended by over 4,500 people, also featured pop-up cinemas, workshops and a Begadang Film-making Competition where participants only had 34 hours to make a five-minute film.

I Made Suarbawa, the executive director of the 3rd MFW, said this year’s festival was also the first time an awards evening was held for the participants. “Previously, we curated [short films] for screening programs [program pemutaran] only. So it [the award] recognized the short films we had seen  and liked and which the judges deemed the best.”

I Made also viewed the award as an important element to observe the festival’s track record. “We also want to see whether these filmmakers will develop or not.” (asw)
