Presented by: Astro A-list, Fixi, and the School of Media, Languages and Cultures Abstract The Internationally-acclaimed film Solo, Solitude/ Istirahatlah Kata-kata depicts some of the last days in the life of Widji Thukul (b 1963), one of Indonesia legendary poets, best known for his political poetry and networks with some of the most radical political activists. During the latest major political turmoil in Indonesia in the late 1990s, scores of political activists were kidnapped by the state security apparatus, and later released. Others, including Thukul, disappeared and their fates remain unknown to this day. Yosep Anggi Noen's neo-neorealist film won the top prize in the Jogja Asian Film Festival and was selected to screen at the Locarno, Busan and Rotterdam Film Festivals.
