Founded in 2003, Sinjitos was originally a music studio initiated by Joseph Saryuf. But not only becoming a mere music studio, Sinjitos was also the place where the musicians could develop their creativity skills and share ideas with fellow musicians in producing musical work.
In 2007, Joseph Saryuf and his other 6 friends figured that they wanted to build a company as the place where their regular customers who shared the same vision could collaborate in making highly artistic musical works. Sinjitos Records then was officially created that year.
Until today, Sinjitos Records is well-known for its consistency in producing the unexpected and the unique as they do not limit themselves to certain genres and is open for any sound and style. With most of their releases being qualified and are well-regarded by the critics, Sinjitos Records is deemed successful in revamping people's paradigm upon the indie label.
Asides from producing the albums of their own musicians, Sinjitas Records also distributes albums from other bands such as Amazing in Bed’s self titled album, Adrian Adioetomo’s Delta Indonesia, Whisper Desire’s Cerah Berawan, Ghaust’s self titled album, and Imagi's self titled album.
It is not easy to make as an artist in Jakarta, especially for young artists who are at the beginning of their career. However, despite the hurdles, there are communities as well as institutions that are very supportive towards various artistic endeavours.
Dia.Lo.Gue Artspace’s annual exhibition, EXI(s)T, is one concrete example of a platform that welcomes the fresh ideas of budding artists based in Jakarta. But the most appealing feature of this exhibition lies in the process that precedes it. The goal is to let the participating artists explore their ideas with the guidance of established artists and curators.
This year, EXI(s)T will exhibit the works of the following artists from December 6, 2013 until January 6, 2014:
- Angga Cipta
- Bey Shouqi
- Dhanny Sanjaya
- Hendra Permata
- Kara Andarini
- Ratu Saraswati

to the tribesmen of the world when he traveled to the most remote areas of 14 countries on an attempt to visit and take photographs of 31 secluded tribes with his 50-yeas-old plate camera.
“Before They Pass Away.” As dramatic as it sounds, it is a compilation of dramatic photographs of the last tribesmen before they, together with their cultures, pass away.
As a child, one might have encountered those times of imagining oneself in certain desired conditions as a measure of an escape from reality; it could be a fantasy of being a superhero, meeting the tooth fairy, or perhaps, like the case of this movie: riding a rocketship.
Although it is considered normal (it is even considered important for a child's cognitive development by the psychologists), what if one day, we “walk the line between the reality and imagination”?
is a short movie written and directed by , a filmmaker based in Brooklyn, New York. Nicholas himself described the movie as his “attempt at recreating that feeling when you stop living in your imagination so much” and “when the harsh realities of life really kick in.”
Set in 1969, the movie centers on the story of a 12-year-old boy who has a huge fascination towards rocketships, which could be conceived by the way he watches rocketship tv shows and the things in his room that are connected to rocketships. Later in the movie, it is shown that the boy plays a pretend war with two of his friends: The Bully and The Four Eyes. And this is when reality and imagination start to intersect.
This movie was originally named “Rocketship” but then changed to its current title as the makers thought the latter appeared to be more accurately depicting the idea of the movie. It has won awards at the Festivus Film Festival, Suffolk Film Festival and HollyShorts Film Festival and is also the official selection of 22 film festivals such as DC Shorts Film Festival, Indie Memphis Film Festival, Tallgrass Film Festial, Boston Underground Film Festival, and more.
Subtle in storytelling, stunning in cinematography and solid in meaning, Worlds We Created is bound to be one of this year's best short movies.
