Next Step Studio Indonesia

Building on the concept launched by La Factory at the Directors’ Fortnight in 2013, the Next Step Studio program supports up-and-coming voices in cinema from around the world. Each year, the program travels to a different country, shining a spotlight on local cinema by bringing together eight emerging filmmakers – four local and four international – to co-write and co-direct four 15-minute short films. Presented at Critics’ Week during the most recent Cannes Film Festival, Next Step Studio Indonesia features four rising Indonesian filmmakers and four young talents from across Southeast Asia. These four ambitious short films will be screened at the Poitiers Film Festival.
