Director Statement

"Kebudayaan adalah Fana, seperti Manusia"

Kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya budaya delman mulai memudar seiring berjalannya zaman. Terutama dalam era modern, transportasi seakan-akan mengambil alih sumber pencaharian para kusir delman. Untuk menyadarkan kembali masyarakat akan budaya delman yang di ambang kepunahan adalah hal yang ingin dicapai dari pembuatan film dokumenter ini.

Beberapa oknum masyarakat seringkali berfikir bahwa kuda yang digunakan oleh para kusir terkesan tidak terawat secara baik. Ada beberapa orang juga yang sangat acuh terhadap kebudayaan penting di Indonesia (terutama Jakarta). Walaupun di era pandemi, para kusir tetap memperdulikan kuda delmannya dan juga menjadi salah satu tiang kebudayaan bagi Indonesia itu sendiri.

"Culture is Ephemeral, like Humans"

Public awareness of the importance of Delman culture began to fade with the times. Especially in the modern era, transportation seems to take over the source of livelihood for the coachmen. To revive the public about the Delman culture which is on the verge of extinction is what we want to achieve from the making of this documentary film.

Some unscrupulous people often think that the horses used by the coachmen are not well maintained. There are also some people who are very indifferent to important cultures in Indonesia (especially Jakarta). Even in the pandemic era, the coachmen still care about their wagon horses and also become one of the pillars of culture for Indonesia itself.
