Indonesia’s JAFF Market is set to welcome two Australian projects at its JAFF Future Project platform, marking a collaboration with Adelaide Film Festival (AFF). The inaugural JAFF Market takes place alongside the Jogja-Netpac Asian Film Festival (JAFF) in Yogyakarta from Dec. 3-5.

The partnership, backed by the Australian Government, brings “Raesita Grey” from Katrina Irawati Graham and “Until Death” from Ben Golotta to the lineup. AFF will support two core team members, including producers, from each project to attend.

The initiative extends AFF’s existing relationship with JAFF and brings mylab, an international development initiative with participants from across Asia, on board as a new collaborator. “The AFF and Jogja NETPAC Asian Film Festival Exchange has been an incredibly satisfying experience,” said Mat Kesting, AFF’s CEO and creative director.

JAFF Market chair Ifa Isfansyah and mylab Curator Lorna Tee expressed confidence in fostering “more fruitful connections and vibrant exchanges” between Indonesian, Asian and Australian film industries.

Eight additional projects were selected by Indonesian committee members Yulia Evina Bhara, Muhammad Zaidy and Vivian Idris, including “Love Unwanted” from acclaimed Indonesian actor Reza Rahadian in his fourth visit to the director’s chair after two features and a series.

JAFF Future Project head Meiske Taurisia notes the selection spans various genres and development stages, targeting diverse investor interests. The market’s partners include White Light Post (Thailand), Kongchak Studio (Cambodia), and BSM Equipment (Indonesia).
