IQMF x 100% Manusia Film Festival: Gado Gado 1 incl. Q&A
After last year’s electrifying collaboration with the 100% Manusia Film Festival at the iconic art house cinema LAB111 also the creative heart of IQMF we’re thrilled to return with something extra special. In celebration of IQMF’s 10th anniversary, we present Gado–Gado: a bold, colorful film program spotlighting Indonesian cinema through the lens of human rights.
Why 100% Manusia? Because it’s more than a film festival it’s a movement. A powerful platform pushing for transformation within Indonesian society by celebrating humanity in all its forms. It’s about dismantling labels, defying stereotypes, and challenging stigmas. It’s about freedom, equality, and unfiltered truth.
Join us for an evening that kicks off with a short introduction, followed by an intimate Q&A with Chris Belloni (Director, IQMF) and Meninaputri Wismurti (Film Program Director, 100% Manusia FF). Let’s talk film. Let’s talk change.
