CCCL Partners with Flobamora Film Festival to Screen Selected Short Films on the Climate Crisis

On 7 August 2025, the 5th Flobamora Film Festival, held from 5–9 August 2025 in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Indonesia, partnered with CCCL to present a short film programme addressing the climate crisis.

The films screened at the event included CONE (콘) directed by Yoo Ji-in, HIDE AND SEEK (SEMBUNYIK GONG) directed by Rian Apriansyah, MAXI OUT (ศึกสุดท้ายก่อนโลกสุก) directed by Chidchanok Ratchataphruek, Thanaphon Konkhum, and Atchara Rabaai, ROASTED CHICKEN directed by Roland Cartagena and EVERYTHING IS FINE directed by Ariya Jitaree.

Following the screenings, the festival invited Nakorn Chaisiri, CCCL’s Artistic Director, to share insights on the concept and approach behind organizing a film festival centered on climate change issues.

This year’s festival adopted the theme “Kalunga,” a word from the East Sumba language meaning the growth of plants. It symbolizes the continuous force of transformation in life and the branching pathways that strengthen the ecosystem, reflecting the steadily growing filmmaking community in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).

In addition to short films selected by CCCL and curated programmes from international festivals, such as the Festival International du Court Métrage de Clermont-Ferrand, the festival also featured a wide range of activities, including conversations with Indonesian filmmakers and film industry professionals, workshops for emerging filmmakers, and a short film pitching session.
