(Jakarta, 06/15) One man. One piano. One series of daily
life. One extraordinary story. Typisch Lang Lang, a
documentary film about a famous pianist, Lang Lang, directed by
Marc Pos from the Netherlands scored high in the World Film
Awards, Jakarta, Indonesia, and becomes the festival best film.
Film has once again become the universal commodity to build
harmonious relation and peace between countries. This strong
value has been rooted deep in the mindset of the juries of the
World Film Awards festival when they justly and carefully picked
this excellent produced documentary film from the Netherlands.
World Film Awards is founded to support independent
filmmakers, as well as travelers, history lovers, and
adventurers to show their passion through entertaining and
informative films. It aims to encourage people to love their
culture and respect others, and to build a world without
boundaries.
Jaap van der Werff from the Pos Video and Television
attended the ceremony and was gladly received the glorious award
at the grand Auditorium of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The
Awards Ceremony, held on the 9th of June 2015, was inaugurated
by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Imam Nahrawi. He warmly
welcomed all the international winning filmmakers from all over
the world and expressed his hope for a continuation and
knowledge sharing between the local and international
filmmakers, as well as maintaining good relation between
countries.
The festival event is organized by the Indonesian Council of
Creative People who works together with the Indonesian Ministry
of Youth and Sports. This fruitful collaboration has given a way
to more than 50 attending international filmmakers to share
their thought about film making in front of more than 300 local
filmmakers during their three nights stay in Menara Peninsula
hotel, Jakarta. The event is also supported by the Russian
Cultural Center in Jakarta, and some carefully picked winning
films were screened there for public.
