A VERY LONG SILENCE OF A FISH
Director: Billy Christian
Indonesia, 2006. 18 minutes.
Color. In Indonesian with English subtitles.
Jerome, 36 years old, single, gay, works as a gynecologist. Nobody knows he is
attracted to men. Like a fish in an aquarium, Jerome swims and waits
indefinitely, without knowing when he will break away from his isolation. After
all, he has a duty as a real man. He has to reproduce, to continue his own
family line.
THE MATCHMAKER
Director: Cinzia Puspita Rini
Indonesia, 2006. 10 minutes.
Color. In Indonesian with English subtitles.
A simple story about Kay, an eclectic girl with all the beauty and sweetness,
and a guy who seems to fall for her. Their eyes locked and she had him grounded
since the first second he saw her, in his bookstore. Yes, the simple yet
charming guy, named Darren owns a bookstore and she is quite a regular customer.
A conversation over the book she ordered actually started what we think as a
start of a romantic journey. While Kay is cooking a master plan on Darren in
mind, she does everything she could to research on Darren’s background and
discovers many interesting things about Darren from google.com. She also learns
more about his personality from their enjoyable times together. A week after
their first meeting, Kay decides to launch the plan. Then, the twist reveals
something about Darren’s sexual preference.
