Jakarta Arts Council's Kineforum to Screen ‘Kita Versus Korupsi’
Corruption has long been rooted in Indonesia’s permissive culture. One of the many reasons why corruption thrives here is because it has been common practice for so long that it is almost part of our culture.
The ability to identify corruption has massively diminished over more than two generations. People, at times, do not realize when they practice corruption themselves. Most commonly, you pay people to speed up bureaucratic processes. This has become so common that most people assume it is OK to bribe anybody, even with the smallest amount of money.
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), with the help of Transparency International Indonesia (TII) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), has collaborated with four filmmakers to educate Indonesians about corruption and its effect on our society. They produced “Kita Versus Korupsi” (“Us Versus Corruption”), which is composed of four short films centered on the theme of corruption in society.
The four parts are: “Rumah Perkara” (“The Troubled House”) by Emil Heradi; “Selamat Siang Risa!” (“Good Afternoon Risa!”) by Ine Febriyanti; “Aku Padamu” (“I Am Into You”) by Lasja F Susatyo; and “Psssttt … Jangan Bilang Siapa-Siapa” (“Psssttt, Don’t Tell Anyone”) by Chairun Nissa.
“Kita Versus Korupsi” is an interesting work as it is the KPK’s attempt to educate the public through the use of soft power.
The film premiered last week in Jakarta and will be shown for free this month at Kineforum, a non-profit cinema managed by the Jakarta Arts Council (DKJ).
