LOCK – Full Circle Lab Indonesia is a capacity-building program aimed at supporting Indonesian filmmakers, and their projects of films. LOCK stands for ‘Laboratorium Olah Cerita dan Kisah’. The 1st edition of the Lab took place in Jakarta in August 2019. After a too-long break notably due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are most excited to announce the 2nd edition of LOCK – Full Circle Lab Indonesia to take place in Jakarta in September 2023.
This Lab primarily consists of an incubator for fiction projects in development – both for features & shorts, together with a series of lectures run by the mentors.
Participants & Projects
The second edition of LOCK x Full Circle Lab Indonesia kicks off on September 18th and will run until the 24th in Jakarta coming back stronger after its first edition in 2019. Twenty-seven promising emerging film talents with short films and first feature film projects benefit from the lab.
An open call for applications was announced on July 19th, resulting in a substantial number of submissions received across the islands of Java, Sulawesi, and Kepulauan Nusa Tenggara including Bali. Six short films and five debut feature film projects are officially selected to take part in the lab sessions.
The selected projects showcase a diverse lineup of genres and experiences. While a majority consists of shorts and debut features, the lab welcomes the participation of both emerging and seasoned directors and producers. The spectrum of genres is diverse, spanning from dramas to comedic narratives, suspense, and fantasy.
