Reverberations of Kantata Takwa

Kantata Takwa is a documentary, recorded concert, a play, a poem, a social commentary, a political pamphlet, and a historical document in one. The film was shot between 1990 and 1994 by a number of filmmakers from the Jakarta Arts Institute, and co-directed by prominent Indonesian filmmakers Gotot Prakosa and Erros Djarot. Due to oppressive New Order politics, water damage, and a lack of funding, Kantata Takwa was only completed in 2008. Its key feature is the concert of a group of legendary rock musicians, performers, and poets collectively known as Kantata Takwa (Cantata of Devotion) in Senayan Stadium in Jakarta in April 1991.
