Indonesia’s Film Sector Poised for Regional Breakout, JAFF Market–Cinepoint Finds
Indonesia’s film sector is entering a decisive new phase, according to the latest JAFF Market–Cinepoint study. The report shows domestic productions are driving cinema attendance, while investor confidence is rising and the market is outperforming its Southeast Asian peers. The Film Industry Report 2025 positions Indonesia as the region’s fastest-growing theatrical market and one of the most dynamic globally.
Key drivers include a robust slate of locally produced features, expanding cinema networks, and a renewed focus on Indonesian storytelling that resonates with audiences at home and across the region. The study also highlights stronger financing, strategic partnerships, and improved distribution that together support a healthier domestic box office and more favorable project pipelines.
Looking ahead, the indicators point to a continued regional breakout for Indonesia’s film sector, with opportunities for co-productions, talent development, and international collaborations that can attract regional and global partners.
As the market continues to outperform peers in Southeast Asia, studios, exhibitors, and investors are eyeing Indonesia as a strategic hub for film content, partnerships, and growth in 2025 and beyond.
