AKARTA: The surrealistic first feature of local director Ismail Basbeth is set to make its bow at one of the world's most prestigious film festivals this week.
Another Trip to the Moon, shot in seven days on location on Mount Lawu near Yogyakarta, will screen in competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in The Netherlands.
'I hope by doing this audiences will always have a different experience while watching my films,' Ismail said, as quoted by Screen International. 'Sometimes it works, but sometimes maybe it's not working. But, that's the challenge.'
The film, which makes its bow on Jan. 26, features Tara Basro as Asa, the daughter of a dukun (shaman), in her quest for personal freedom.
