Nominated for Best Short Documentary at the 2022 Indonesian Film Festival (FFI), Koesno: Jati Diri Soekarno is a docudrama that revisits the youth of Soekarno, the first President of Indonesia and a central figure in the country’s struggle for independence from Dutch colonial rule, in Surabaya. Through historical reenactments and factual documentation, it asserts that Ir. Soekarno was born in Peneleh, Surabaya—not Blitar, as widely believed. The film, produced by TVRI East Java in collaboration with the Faculty of Cultural Studies at Airlangga University (FIB UNAIR) and Begandring Soerabaia, also highlights how Surabaya shaped his character and nationalist spirit, inspiring him to proudly identify as an Arek Suroboyo.

The film screening will be presented in Indonesian with English subtitles, and the following session will be conducted in Indonesian with an interpreter.

24 minutes | 2022 | Documentary | Indonesian with English subtitles | Minimum age 13
