    It was our pleasure to engage International Film Festival for Spirituality, Religion and Visionary! our films “The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything” and “Sweetness in Adversity” were separately awarded “International Award of Outstanding Excellence” and “International Award of Excellence”. We really appreciate that! This is a great and meaningful festival, and we will bring more films to IFFSRV. Looking forward to the next participation.

    My documentary Reincarnation won 4 Awards including Best Director and Best Story as Award of Outstanding Excellence. The film touches a controversial subject that have landed the film to many festivals' trash bin. But Judges here had not only open minds but also open arms. I attended award ceremony in Jakarta and Jogjakarta, I was inspired, touched and encouraged. I will submit more films, attend more ceremonies and share my passion with more people. It is a festival you do not want to miss.
