1. 3 DOA 3 CINTA / 3 WISHES 3 LOVES at 12 Noon
A film by Nurman Hakim,
Starred by Dian Sastrowardoyo and Nicholas Saputra
Huda, Rian and Syahid are students of a small pondok pesantren, an educational and an Islamic religious institution in Central Java. They all have their own emotional turbulence. Huda’s longing for his mother, Rian’s passion for the movies and Syahid anger caused by his hard life. Through Dona Satelit, a sexy dangdut singer, Toha a travelling cinema troupe owner and a militant religious leader, they put their hope into making their dreams come true.

2. LASKAR PELANGI / THE RAINBOW TROOPS at 2 pm
A film by Riri Riza
Starred by Cut Mini, Ikranagara, Slamet Rahardjo
and Tora Sudiro. Introducing 10 super kids from
Belitong, Indonesia.
Laskar Pelangi (The Rainbow Troops), is a film adaptation of Andrea Hirata’s literary work that first appeared on shelves in 2004, based on his childhood memories about his devoted teachers, Muslimah (Cut Mini) and Pak Arfan (Ikranagara), and their ten students (mostly children of poor labourers). The story sensitively captures the struggles of marginalized people to achieve their dreams, the beauty of friendship and it’s ability to save humanity, against the background of what was once one of Indonesia’s richest island, Belitong.
