After Colossus
Amid the mass hysteria over the killings of alleged sorcerers following the collapse of Suharto’s authoritarian regime in 1999, a group of researchers discovers a sack of mysterious documents. As they sift through its contents – unsettling reports, enigmatic photographs and fragmented recordings – they gradually piece together a hidden story: a secretive military project in which rural children were taken and subjected to covert experiments and indoctrination. In this fiction film, steeped in magical realism and mysticism, formats like Super 8mm, Hi8, Video8, digital 35mm and AI-generated images are employed to reflect on Indonesia’s turbulent past.
