Written by Rena Novia Savitri When hearing the word “Biduan” or “Biduanita” what will likely come to mind are female dangdut singers, who are generally stereotyped as tacky singers. But are they really tacky singers? These are women wearing skimpy clothing that sing and dance on stage, which is then followed by audience dancing (where the majority are men). Whereas, this is not typical of a biduanita. Supposedly, a biduanita is a dangdut singer who possesses a typical charact

Ramadan is special month for Muslim. In Indonesia, we have ‘mudik’, a tradition event when we get back to our hometown where our childhood spent before Eid Al Fitr. Mudik is an extraordinary moment when we can spend the time with our family because our daily activities taking too much of our time. We come to our hometown with happiness.

That day was supposed to be a day filled with testosterone; long hair, jeans that hasn’t been washed for months, tattoo on some of the body parts, and beard that grows wildly. But there’s one word can change all of that: affection. That day, Anatman Pictures shot a video to celebrate Mother’s Day. Some of the Go-Jek talents slash moms brought their kids to show their affection in written words. Well, Anatman Pictures team tried their best to hide their tears in their own ways

Recently we collaborated with Hijup, an online fashion market specialising in modest wear for muslim women. For this project, Hijup wanted to put emphasis on women who make positive changes in their surroundings. As we were making a documentary film, we focused on 5 strong women, each one of them with their own stories and struggles against the stereotypes of women wearing hijab in society. These powerful women come from different backgrounds and professions: Diajeng Lestari

This time, Anatman had a chance to make a documentary project as a campaign from Coca-Cola on the nickname and bullying phenomenon in Indonesia. Most Indonesians are given nicknames, whether it is derived from their names or from their physical appearances. So this time Coca-Cola wants to raise the awareness to call people by their birth names, because behind every name, there are prayers and hopes from the parents.

At the beginning of June, Anatman Pictures had the opportunity to create another documentary in Kalimantan, although initially there was doubt about making this documentary because it involves palm oil plantations and child labour. It was an idealism matter! :p but finally we departed in the morning on 1st of June after meeting up with the team at Soekarno-Hatta airport.  Our team consisted of Putra (Director), Imam (Producer), Dhany from the agency and myself, Dennis, Assist

Anatman Pictures has worked with FWD Insurance Indonesia several times. This time, FWD wanted to bring up the issue of realising unexecuted plans as its theme for the campaign, as most of us have at least one or more unexecuted plans. There were three different professions chosen to speak about their unexecuted plans : a musician, traveler, and scuba-diver. Putra sitting on the special director’s seat surrounded by his “entourage” From the pre-production meeting, it was decid

Late in 2014 we had the pleasure of filming the badminton legend Christian Hadinata (Koh Chris) for the second Coca Cola Angkat Raketmu (Raise Your Racket) Campaign. Koh Chris is a very humble and lovely man and it was great to spend time in his calming presence and learn about his story in the world of badminton. Beginning his career as a singles player and reaching the final of the prestigious All-England Championship in 1973, it was his success in doubles that earned him r

In early March Anatman made a second journey to Aceh for Save The Children, this time to make a documentary explaining the benefits of breastfeeding exclusively for the first six months after birth to women in remote villages. Our destination was the coffee growing highlands of the Bener Mariah Regency in Aceh Special District, so we flew to Medan and planned to catch a connecting 50 minute flight to Lhok Seumawe, and it would be a further four hour car drive from there.

We recently finished a new short documentary style video for Coca Cola’s Angkat Raketmu (Raise Your Racket) campaign about the legendary Indonesian badminton player, Rudy Hartono. Since we moved into our new office location in Tanjung Barat in September it’s been crazy days here at the Anatman headquarters. One great project we have had the pleasure of working on has been for the Angkat Raketmu campaign for Coca Cola. Over the past year, Coca Cola has refurbished 16 badminton

Another exciting project from Indonesian Ministry of Tourism & Creative Economy! This is the second time the Anatman team has been to Raja Ampat. About 3 months ago, Anatman staff travelled there to cover the locals being shown how to create handicrafts, furniture and signage to support the tourism and creative industry in Raja Ampat. Last week, we made the journey again to cover the results of that training and documented the first international event held in Raja Ampat call

It’s been awhile now since the grand launching of our website and it seems we have neglected to keep you up to date on what’s been happening ever since. Firstly the authorities blocked Vimeo here in Indonesia, due to the ignorance and stupidity of our Indonesian Communication & Information Minister, Tifatul Sembiring, so our site was down for awhile as Vimeo hosts all our video content, and it has been incredibly busy around here with many exciting projects both in the pipeli
