If you didn't know, the German Season just had its grand start with a screening of Fritz Lang's classic film, Metropolis, accompanied musically by Film Orchestra Babelsberg in Cikini last weekend. With the program fully under way, The German Seasons will have three programs active through the month of September which are Football Fever in Indonesia Competition, German Cinema Film Festival, and Cultural Worlds. The first is a competition where you submit a video of support for the German football team for a chance to be flown to Hanover to watch the team play (submission ends the 11th so hurry!), the second is a screening of the many great German films made in recent years (check out our Focus article, "Selection: German Cinema" for recommendations, and the third is an exhibition that features preservations and restorations of artefacts from around the world which includes our own Borobudur temple.

The German Cinema Festival is back!
For the fourth time in a row, the festival brings the best of German film to Indonesia’s cinema screens. After its successful debut in 2012 and its sequels 2013 and 2014, the festival is one of the key events in Indonesia’s cultural calendar!
The programme contains a fine selection of 17 current, internationally acclaimed and award-winning German film productions, among them “Labyrinth of Lies“ by Giulio Ricciarelli, “The Salt of the Earth“ by Wim Wenders and Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, the German box-office film “Fack Ju Göhte“ (“Suck me Shakespeer“) or the latest film by Andreas Dresen “As We Were Dreaming“. With this cross-section of the German film landscape, the festival seeks to inspire the Indonesian audience and evoke interest in German Cinema – believing that the contemporary German movie scene is continuously changing and has to offer a lot of exciting, fresh views. All films will be made accessible to a wide audience through English subtitles. Screenings will be held across Indonesia, namely Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Makassar, Surabaya, Denpasar and Medan.
Education / Politics
The exhibition “Cultural Worlds”, which is part of the Cultural Preservation Program of the Federal Foreign Office, presents impressive examples of 13 different projects, such as the restoration of Indonesia’s Borobudur temple, the preservation of manuscripts featuring ancient handwriting in Timbuktu, Mali, or the restoration of the old bazaar of Erbil in Iraq.
These projects give an idea of the immense cultural heritage worldwide that we all share and should strive to protect and preserve. The exhibition mainly shows projects to preserve historical cultural assets worldwide, but also highlights the preservation of German cultural heritage abroad.
The Cultural Preservation Program was established in 1981, with the aim to preserve cultural heritage worldwide and therefore make it accessible to the following generations. Its main goal is to strengthen a sense of national identity in the partner country and to foster cultural dialogue among partners. In conflict areas, these measures are an element of crisis prevention and support for reconstruction.
Sebagai bagian dari rangkaian acara Jerman Fest dari Goethe Institut, German Cinema akan menampilkan 17 film terpilih yang akan menjadi representasi dunia sinema Jerman di bulan September. Pada seleksi kali ini, kami memilih delapan film panjang yang mencakupi berbagai genre film mulai dari komedi, drama hingga thriller yang cukup menarik untuk ditonton.

Nowherelandian Launches Visions of Mundane Madness: Drawings and Poems by Andri Nirmala and Dwiputri Pertiwi
Nowherelandian is a self-publisher based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Following the 2014 release of Hiatus, the independent unit will release its second publication, Visions of Mundane Madness, a collection of 50 drawings by illustrator Andri Nirmala and 50 poems by Dwiputri Pertiwi.
The idea behind Visions is summarized by the excerpt of the introduction below.
We begin with seeing, but we will eventually pick up our pens so that we can arrive at the end with more than two pairs of tired eyes. The hand-drawn pictures contained in this book are visual playgrounds. They were made to show you what we have seen, what we do not wish to see, as well as what we hope to see. But we also invite you to see through and around them: we would like you to show us what you see in them. The poems you will find here are our own attempt to reshape those things and non-things we have encountered in our waking hours and our dreams. Each line and the verses they amount to are just another way of seeing, of opening our eyes to the world through the enigmatic mechanism of language.
The essence of this book is interpretation. The first step requires converting both real and hypothetical experiences into pictures. These pictures will then become various combinations of symbols—chains of words, rows of sentences—that dictate the second stage of conversion. Layers and layers of meaning are added in the process.
To introduce the book, Nowherelandian would like to invite all appreciators of visual art and poetry to the following launching event:
