Acting Jakarta preparing to become cinema city

Jakarta – The provincial government of DKI Jakarta is currently preparing to become a theater city. Deputy Governor Rano Karno revealed that Jakarta would make a commission film like Tokyo and Busan. Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Rano Karno mentioned this when he watched the film Jumbo animation with 200 orphans in April. Rano said at the time that Jakarta was designed to become the city of the theater. “Jakarta will be designed to become the City of Cinema,” Rano said on Saturday (12/4) in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta. Rolo Karno was again confirmed by Rano Karno in the Jakarta Future Festival event with the theme ‘Developing Jakarta Kota Cinema’, at Taman Ismail Marzuki, Central Jakarta, Sunday (6/15/2025). Rano said Jakarta’s alignments about the film industry have been shown since the 2007-2012 governor of DKI Fauzi Bowo. At the time, Fauzi Bowo Pergub published number 115 of 2012 on the liberation of some of the entertainment tax for national film production. “Friends, I said that the seeds here are the forerunner of the City of Cinema, namely the partisanship of the Jakarta government against the film, was born in 2012 Governor Fauzi Bowo, Governor Regulation No. 115 of 2012, which contains a tax exemption with 75 percent,” Rano Karno said. But Rano questions the release of entertainment tax for the production of this film was deployed in the era of Joko Widodo (Jokowi) while serving as Governor of Jakarta. At the time, Jokowi issued a Governor Regulation Number 148 of 2014 regarding amendments to the regulation number 115 of 2012 on the release of a part of the entertainment tax for national film production. Rano claims not to know why the release of special entertainment taxes up to 50 percent of the previous 75 percent. Because, according to him, some of the film tax was intended to build the film industry. “Well, the film has become a concern, agree? “This means that parts of the spectacle tax are returned to the producer, for what? The construction of the film industry in Indonesia,” he added. Rano emphasized that Pergub number 1148 was not recalled. He also mentioned that Jakarta was the only region that freed entertainment tax between cities with a large population of spectators. “To this day, this pergub has not been revoked. That is, the pieces returned to Indonesian film producers are still valid. And only in Jakarta are other places,” Rano said. “While spreading films in Jakarta or in Indonesia is 7 provinces, Medan, Palembang, Jakarta, West Java Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, Bali, Makassar. Only 7 major cities where the population of the audience is extraordinary,” he added. Rano said the DKI Jakarta provincial government and the Ministry of Creative Economy harmonized the National Film Economic Development program.

Jakarta This film commission is planned to realize in 2027. “Around the world, in every city that advanced the Busan festival, a commission film, Tokyo he has a commission film, Hong Kong, he has a commission film, the Netherlands, he has a commission film,” says Rano. He said that all Filminfrastructure in Jakarta would be regulated in the institution later. He picked up the Hong Kong Film Commission to finance even $ 40 young film producers up to 2 million dollars for one film. “That means, Jakarta can do it, sorry so far my experience has decades until I have made the last ‘The Goal Children School’, and none of the banks want to give credit to making films to this day,” Rano said. “Because God is willing, Jakarta 2027 will build the Jakarta Film Commission with all kinds of aspects, and hopefully we can become the organizer of the International Film Festival,” he continued. He said the Jakarta Film Commission would be a separate institution. Rano said that the Jakarta Film Commission will be managed professionally, not bumd. “He will become a separate institution, but clearly not abdomen, he must be managed by professionals,” Rano said.
