Why Start Your Creative Career in Indonesia?
Indonesia’s film industry is experiencing rapid growth and entering a golden era. Local films are gaining immense popularity, as seen in the steadily increasing number of cinema-goers each year. This thriving market has also caught the attention of international investors, making Indonesia the perfect place to study and launch your career in the world of film.
Significant Market Growth
Indonesia’s cinema audience grew by 10%, reaching 126.22 million in 2024 (source: Bicara Box Office). Local films attracted 80.21 million viewers, with the market share for Indonesian films climbing to 65% in 2024—an impressive 6.56% increase from 61% in 2023.
Support from Global Investors
Since being removed from the Negative Investment List (DNI/Daftar Negatif Investasi) in 2016, Indonesia’s film industry has become more open to foreign investments. This has paved the way for international collaborations, resulting in films with improved technical quality and compelling storytelling.
