A good documentary is informative. A great documentary touches the heart and evokes emotions. is definitely in need of it’s own category of documentaries. Controversial as it may be, the Act of Killing, well it’s just as bad as it seems, of course that all depends on which perspective you are watching the documentary from. But we can argue for the prior.
The Act of Killing is a documentary about a genocide that happened in Indonesia and then later concealed, a story that may bring people to tears but sure to turn everyone’s stomachs. The actual participants of the genocide that happened in 1965 – 1966 reenact the grueling and honest documentary. Director, tracked down the participants and put them in front of the camera and followed to the silver scene, in select locations for obvious reasons.
A brutally honest yet comedic take on killing, murder, rape; reenactments of what they seemed to enjoy. Surreal seems to be the word producers, could use to describe what they saw. An informative documentary that introduces a lot of emotional elements and slowly comes to life the more you are captivated into the eerie world of the civil unrest that unfolded in a country. These facts of history are supercharged with fantasy and fiction only to match the lunacy of these participants of the genocide, who truly believe that they in fact are innocent. In the end though, was it a bigger achievement to create an unconventional and a more thought provoking documentary or expose the crimes of the past? I guess watch the movie to make your own judgments.

If you were a bird living in a big city, your little feet would most likely hop on the edge of a tall building rather than trees. Keeping in mind the importance of constructing and planning a humble habitat not only for human’s use, House The House and UNKL347 launch a collaboration project titled Birdhouse Project as a tiny celebration to dig local creative potential, be it individual or collective, through a simple issue: a birdhouse that can be placed anywhere.
After a tiresome battle with the rain and drought around Bandung, the sky is once again clear and free from grey clouds this early July. For the whole Saturday, the sunray heat stings every head of UNKL347’s Eco-Forestry Area visitors, where the launching exhibition of Birdhouse Project is held.
This exhibition invites dozens of creator with various backgrounds to define a birdhouse according to their own view. For one whole month prior to the event, numbers of architect, designer, product designer, graphic designer, and others located in Bandung, Jakarta to Surabaya busily sent, display and promote their work. Opened with some prolix greetings, Meizan as the representative from House The House and Eddi from UNKL347 explained that the exhibition that will be held for the whole week does not solely have the noble purpose of preserving city bird population of sort; but also emphasize on celebrating design scene in Indonesia’s big cities that has been progressively developing the past few years. Aligned with those purposes, House The House also slipped in a discussion series at the open-air skateboard ramp of UNKL347 under the name of Trivia Club, inviting Zanun Nurangga and Mitch Riffandie as the exhibitor to do some gossiping about the growth of local design world.
The exhibition, which is also celebrated with the big sale of UNKL347’s unique furniture collection is enlivened by the warm music performance by Swara Gerilya and live performance by DJ Melody Garcia, Egga and Artiandi-Raditya.
