Our Rangsot
2025
Set in Rangsot, this film unravels how memory, play, and storytelling endure through voice, gesture, and communal presence. Songs once sung to lull children, tales whispered by parents, and games played with sticks, stones, or dragonflies re-emerge as elders recount them—sometimes laughing, sometimes grieving. The film reflects on how the apparatus mediates these transmissions. Between oral history and the camera’s framing, it explores how memory is shaped, reenacted, and perhaps even transformed through the production and consumption of technical images.Diminished

Idak-Idak-Idak is a hybrid-documentary relating the stolen Lombok Treasures with the Sasak diaspora through three generations of women: a daughter, her mother, and her grandmother. Blending full-spectrum cinematography with personal footage, this film moves between Indonesia and the Netherlands to examine colonial legacies, displacement and healing the heart of home. In Sasak, "Idak" can be interpreted as both “heart” and “absence”, becoming a container for memory, loss, and the unseen layers of the self between generations.Call Samba
