“The sponsorship given to one of the Indonesian governmental forum or organizations serves as a form of BCA’s commitment to reach and support all elements of society in various fields, including creative industries in the development of Indonesian films. Therefore, BCA is honored to be a partner of Gerakan 1000 in support of the filming of ‘Impian 1000 Pulau’,” explained Rizali.
Gerakan 1000, which was initiated on March 31st, 2016, is a synergy forum for the work programs of theministries/state agencies that concerned with increasing driving forces for economic growth acceleration in Kepulauan Seribu. To present the life and beauty of Kepulauan Seribu, young film makers of Gerakan 1000 produce a movie called ‘Impian 1000 Pulau’, set to be released on Indonesia’s Independence Day, August 2018.
“The creative industries hold great potential for the national economy. As a growing subsector today, the Indonesian cinema needs to be provided with facilities in order to progress and grow. On the other hand, movies can also serve as a mean to introduce tourist destinations in Indonesia. Many destinations visited by tourists, both domestic and foreign, are a result of and influenced by what they see in the movies,” added Rizali.
‘Impian 1000 Pulau’ itself is part of the Integrated Creative Economy Development Program initiated by Gerakan 1000 in order to build the economy and tourism carrying capacity in Kepulauan Seribu. What’s special is, the movie will feature the National Non-Cash Movement (GNNT), a program of Bank Indonesia (BI), in which non-cash transactions are performed using EDC BCA at cafes, stalls, TransJakarta stations and also Laku Pandai activities.
“Through this partnership, we hope it may help Gerakan 1000 in the production of ‘Impian 1000 Pulau’ as well as to increase carrying capacity of the creative industry and economic growth in Kepulau Seribu through film making by Indonesian youth,” Rizali concluded.
