Tips Membangun Ekosistem Komunitas Film: Belajar dari Pengalaman Ade Hidayat di Kalimantan

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Ekosistem film di Kalimantan belum berkembang dan bisa dibilang sama sekali tidak ada. Padahal Kalimantan memiliki harta cerita yang melimpah meski kurangnya wawasan mengenai ekosistem dan tradisi film. Itu dulu, sebelum Ade mulai merintis budaya film di sana. Ade Hidayat, Alumni Komunikasi UII angkatan 2005, menceritakannya pengalamannya ini pada pemirsa live Instagram IP Komunikasi UII (@ip.communication.uii).

Paparannya tersebut disampaikan dalam acara bincang-bincang rutin “Teatime” episode ke-12 pada 18 September 2020. Acara yang dipandu M. Iskandar T. Gunawan, Laboran Laboratorium Komunikasi UII, ini juga mengulik pengalaman Ade Hidayat yang inspiratif. Misal bagaimana ia merakit keterampilannya di bidang film sejak masih kuliah di semester awal.

Kisahnya menunjukkan Ade bukan pemain baru dalam dunia film. Ia juga  merupakan pionir sejak aktifitasnya di komunitas perfilman di Komunikasi UII beberapa tahun silam dengan membangun Kompor.kom (komunitas mahasiswa di bidang film). Kisahnya melambung hingga cerita tentang kegigihannya membangun budaya perfilman di kampung halamannya.

Kurangnya komunitas dan orang orang yang peduli dengan ekosistem film adalah isu yang paling penting mengapa Ade ingin menghidupkan ekosistem film di kalimantan. Menghidupkan ekosistem perfilman yang dilakukan Ade tidak secepat itu membuahkan hasil. Ia membutuhkan waktu tujuh tahun lamanya.

Selama 2 tahun mengamati ekosistem film di kalimantan, Ade akhirnya mendapatkan teman yang sesuai dengan semangatnya. Mulanya ia membuat Screening Film dan peta besar rencana kegiatan perfilman. Ini , makan waktu lima tahun. Tahun pertama, ia membuat program yang bernama Ngofi. Tahun kedua, tahun edukasi film. Tahun ketiga, ia bikin produksi film sederhana. Lalu pada tahun keempat,  produksi film dilakukan kembali sekaligus menggencarkan distribusinya. Sayangnya, rencana di tahun kelima mandeg terhalang oleh pandemi Covid-19.

Produksi Film dan Konsistensi

Semangat Ade tak muncul begitu saja. Banyak juga sineas di daerah lain juga memengaruhi. Misalnya, film Makassar yang berjudul Uang Panai yang menelan biaya produksi sekira 450 juta rupiah.  Target penonton film produksi lokal tersebut bisa menyentuh angka 550 ribu penonton.

Tak hanya itu, Uang Panai mendapatkan penghargaan khusus untuk Film Produksi Daerah dari Indonesian Box Office Movie Award (IBOMA) pada 2017. Dari sini Ade Hidayat merasa termotivasi dan akhirnya merintis ekosistem film di kalimantan. Harapannya, kelak ia dan sineas di kalimantan memiliki film yang pantas dikenal di seluruh Indonesia bahkan Dunia.

Singkat cerita, Ade kini dapat merasakan budaya perfilman yang kental di daerahnya. Tentu itu tak muncul dari ruang hampa. Kunci sukses Ade dalam dunia film terletak bagaimana selama kuliah ia menciptakan jejaring sosial, kerjasama, serta mempunyai target agar tetap konsisten. Komunikasi adalah kunci dari semuanya,” ujar Ade.

Gunawan, Host dalam diskusi ini, mengatakan pandangan senada. Kuliah adalah ladang mengolah relasi, latihan bekerjasama, dan tidak lupa konsistensi. “Ambil pengalaman sebanyak-banyaknya selama berada di dunia kampus,” pungkas Gunawan.

Tips for Building a Film Community Ecosystem: Learning from Ade Hidayat’s Experience in Kalimantan

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The film ecosystem in Kalimantan is underdeveloped and arguably non-existent. In fact, Kalimantan has abundant storytelling despite the lack of insight into the ecosystem and film traditions. That was before Ade started pioneering the film culture there. Ade Hidayat, UII Communications Alumni, class of 2005, shared his experience with live viewers of UII’s IP Communications Instagram (@ ip.communication.uii).

His presentation was delivered in the 12th episode of the routine talk show “Teatime” on September 18, 2020. The event hosted by M. Iskandar T. Gunawan, UII Communication Laboratory Assistant, also explored Ade Hidayat’s inspirational experience. For example, how he assembled his skills in film since he was in college in the first semester.

The story shows Ade is not a new player in the world of film. He is also a pioneer since his activities in the film community at UII Communication Department several years ago by building Kompor.kom (student community in film). His story soared to the story of his persistence in building a film culture in his hometown.

Lack of community and people who care about the film ecosystem is the most important issue why Ade wants to revive the film ecosystem in Kalimantan. Turning on the film ecosystem that Ade did not produce results so quickly. It took him seven years.

For 2 years observing the film ecosystem in Kalimantan, Ade finally got friends who matched his passion. Initially he made film screenings and a large map of film activity plans. This took five years. The first year, he created a program called Ngofi. (film talks) The second year, the film education year. The third year, he made a simple film production. Then in the fourth year, film production was carried out again and at the same time intensified its distribution. Unfortunately, the plans for the fifth year have stalled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Consistency of Film Production

Ade’s spirit did not just appear. Many filmmakers in other areas also influenced it. For example, the Makassar film entitled Uang Panai, which cost about 450 million rupiah to produce. The target audience for this local film production can reach 550 thousand viewers.

Not only that, Uang Panai received a special award for Regional Film Production from the Indonesian Box Office Movie Award (IBOMA) in 2017. Ade Hidayat felt motivated and finally pioneered the film ecosystem in Kalimantan with Uang Panai’s success. The hope is that someday all the filmmakers in Kalimantan have films that deserve to be known throughout Indonesia and even the world.

In simple ways, Ade can now experience the strong film culture in the area. Absolutely, it doesn’t come out of a vacuum. The key to Ade’s success in the world of film lies in how during college he created social networks, collaborations, and has goals to stay consistent. “Communication is the key to everything, ”said Ade.

Gunawan, the Host in this discussion, shared a similar view. Lecture is a field to cultivate relationships, practice collaboration, and not forgetting consistency. “Get as much experience as possible while in the world of campus,” concluded Gunawan.
