The Singhasari Special Economic Zone (SEZ) held a Special Screening for the film Tegar together with the United States Consulate General in Indonesia on February 24th, 2023 at 13:00 at XXI Ciputra World, Surabaya.
Tegar is an Indonesian drama film that will be released in 2022. This film tells the story of a child with disabilities named Tegar who does not get love from his parents. Even though he has limitations, Tegar really wants to go to school even though his parents don't approve.
Tegar's story is very touching and leaves a deep impression on the audience. For this reason, SEZ Singhasari and the US Consulate General want more and more Indonesian people to have the opportunity to watch Tegar's films.
SEZ Singhasari really supports the development of creative industries in Indonesia. In October 2022, SEZ Singhasari has inaugurated Animation and Film Factory (AFF), the largest animation and film center Indonesia, AFF is one of the business clusters currently being developed at SEZ Singhasari, namely content, computing, commerce, tourism, renewable energy.
AFF currently has around 20 studios with 500 creators. By adhering to the plasma-core pattern, SEZ Singhasari believes that content democratization can be realized properly. Apart from being the largest in Indonesia, the community-based development pattern will give birth to creators who can collaborate in producing high-quality content. In addition, the development of AFF will make vocational education the backbone in creating reliable digital talent.
Currently, AFF SEZ Singhasari has collaborated with 22 SMK with the Department of Animation, Film, DKV and Broadcast.
