Move over, Marvel! Indonesian filmmaker Garin Nugroho just dropped a truth bomb at the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival: "Hollywood is not number one." 🚨 With local films dominating six of Indonesia’s top 10 box office spots, Nugroho argues that homegrown stories are stealing the spotlight 🌟.
As a judge for the festival’s Golden Silk Road Awards, Nugroho reminisced about childhood days when Chinese cinema ruled Indonesian screens. "Film is our biggest cultural bridge," he told CGTN, urging creators from both nations to collaborate harder 🤝. Could this spark a new era of Asia-powered storytelling? 📽️
The festival – connecting filmmakers across 90+ countries and regions – highlights shifting tides in global entertainment. With streaming platforms hungry for fresh perspectives, Nugroho’s message rings clear: The future of film isn’t just in Hollywood’s hands 🌏.
