A candid invite to a village fair unexpectedly turned out to be a meditative enquiry into “understanding Folk”. Shot and edited by the director on a Canon 550D using mostly camera sound, this one is a guidebook on zero budget filmmaking.

"In terms of language, this film represents the value of the community that we fought as Forum Lenteng."

-Otty Widasari, Artist and Filmmaker

“Your Utsav is a brilliant short piece and you’ve got a terrific, clear eye for the telling moment…. very humanistic, person-centric approach to fly-on-the-wall documentation reminding me of the work of American filmmaker Les Blank.”

-David Roche, Ethnomusicologist
