Jakarta Offers Film Incentives While the Revised Film Law Waits
Indonesia's film agency is helping draft a revised Film Law that would reshape its powers, while Jakarta works to become a regional film hub.
The Jakarta Film Commission launched in June alongside Filming in Jakarta, a one-stop service for producers.
Jakarta has cut certain location fees by 50% and introduced a 50% tax concession on cinema admissions for qualifying Indonesian films.

Take
The incentives are tangible—50% off certain location fees and a 50% admissions tax concession for qualifying Indonesian films—while the law has no parliamentary date.
Pushback
No date is not the same as no movement. The film agency chair says the first draft has taken shape since Cannes and that the direction is right, though he is not ready to say more.
