Festival Film Bahari-Sea and Coastal Film Festival, is designed to serve as a platform to raise awareness, educate, and inspire action to protect the critical environments. By celebrating coastal cultures, promoting conservation efforts, and supporting filmmakers, the festival can foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the importance of marine and coastal ecosystems, ultimately contributing to their preservation for future generations.
In our seventh year now, our film festival's theme is "Tanah dan Air" (Land and Water/Homeland).
The phrase "Tanah Air" in Indonesian, meaning "land and water," holds profound significance, embodying the essence of homeland, national identity, and the environment. This concept transcends Indonesia and resonates universally, symbolizing the deep connection people have to their homeland and the elements that sustain life. When explored through the lens of an international film festival, "Tanah Air" provides a unique opportunity to showcase diverse global narratives, emphasizing the interconnectedness of people, cultures, and environments.
"Tanah Air" aims to explore and celebrate the multifaceted connections between people and their homeland. The objective of such a festival would be to:
1. Highlight diverse cultures, traditions, and stories from various regions around the world, reflecting the universal significance of "Tanah Air."
2. Screen films that address environmental issues, emphasizing the importance of preserving natural landscapes and resources globally.
3. Through cinematic storytelling, strengthen the sense of global interconnectedness, reminding audiences of their shared humanity and common future.
