Kultursinema as a Method of Experience History and Film Archives In Indonesia. New Emerging Forces Archive Exhibition

In the presentation of the 2nd Global Audiovisual Archiving Conference, Kultursinema specifically discussed one of its projects made in 2018. An ambitious transnational political project that was made in Indonesia after the 1955 Asian-Africa Conference. Kultursinema: Gelora Purnaraga (Passion of The Perfect Body) raised issues about “games,” “friendship politics,” and “body solidarity” through the Games of New Emerging Forces (GANEFO) sports and cultural event. The exhibition presents GANEFO film archives stored in Indonesia. The GANEFO event is a progressive vision that continues and develops the vision of the Bandung Principles of the Asian African Conference 1955. The main goal of this sporting event was to build a third power to compete with the two great powers that emerged during the Cold War.
