OBJECTIVES
The first jakarta slingshortfest is the pioneering regional short film festival in South East Asia, based in Jakarta, Indonesia.  The jakarta slingshortfest is an independent short film festival with a South East Asian regional competition. This festival will be held on November 21-26, 2006 in several venues in Jakarta. The idea of this name came up from ‘slingshot’; a children’s traditional weapon/toy in many places around the world. We slipped an ‘r’ in the middle of ‘shot’ to allow the representation of ‘short film’. Just like this weaponry game used by the ‘mischievous’, this festival is a ‘sling shot’ for short films with the ‘mischievous’ young spirit of the South East Asian filmmakers and an international level discourse.

The competition is open and free for all citizens of South East Asian nation’s citizen who want to submit a/some film(s) for the preview. It is organized by Teater Utan Kayu (TUK) – an independent cultural institute in Jakarta – and receives financial support from the Prince Claus Foundation.
