JIFFest films

Thank you for publishing an article on the Jakarta International Film Festival (Jiffest) in the Sunday edition of The Jakarta Post (Oct. 28, 2001, JIFFest: A feast for movie enthusiasts). After reading the article, we feel, however, that Jiffest buffs might be deterred from going to see the films as one could get the impression that the tickets have already been sold out.

Film tickets can actually be purchased at the respective theater one hour before the film is shown. If JIFFest fans are worried that the box office will run out, they can buy tickets for the following day at the Haji Usmar Ismail Film Center in Kuningan. Also, we will be showing some films free of charge but viewers will still need tickets.

This year, we are presenting about 110 films and some will be shown more than once so that film viewers will still have ample opportunity to see them.

Should readers have any further questions, please contact Vashti at phone numbers 325113, 325115 or 08129289625
