Dear Filmmakers,

This is the first call to Jakarta Film Awards. The advantage of the low submission fee rate.

Welcome to the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, the city where everything exists, and every character has its own home.
Jakarta Film Awards warmly greets all enthusiastic filmmakers to spread the artistic value and inspiration their films bring. Apart from its status as the capital of Indonesia with its skyscrapers in the heart of the city, Jakarta has a long history and complex culture. Diving deeply into the historical value of our nation, Jakarta has become one of the vital places where Indonesian heroes fought for their freedom and honor.

It has been six years since the World Film Awards first dedicated their festival to help passionate filmmakers star their film and documentaries. The Festival has been seeking to build a better world through filmmaking. The World Film Awards is now welcoming its sister festival, the Jakarta Film Awards (JFA) to play a role in the film industry and to help filmmakers, both independent and professional, to soar their film internationally and make it famous throughout the region.
