Reflecting on the past, Shaping the Future: Welcome to Resonance
- Ailsa Luthfia Indrasari Laksana Putri
Yogyakarta, March 16, 2026 — A new chapter begins. Yet every step forward is always shaped by the past that came before it. This spirit echoes in the return of Sewon Screening 12 with its theme, Resonance. The choice of this theme is far from arbitrary; it serves as a subtle invitation for visitors to revisit the pulse of history. Sewon Screening 12 believes that every work created is not merely a personal expression of its creator, but also a medium that harmonizes frequencies, reflecting on the past in order to build a stronger foundation for the future.
Through its visualization in the teaser video released on March 15, 2026, viewers are drawn into the dim interior of a cinema hall filled with human emotions. At first, the focus rests on a man wearing a purple shirt and a black bomber jacket. Around him unfold familiar reflections of how people behave when watching a film, fear, drowsiness, confusion, and eventually someone drifting into deep sleep, overcome by fatigue. Yet amid this quiet commotion, an awaited object appears: the fresh southern fan. These small fans move gracefully, forming images upon each person they pass, as if they are fragments of memories wandering in search of their rightful owner.
These fragments of memory begin to take shape as the fans arrange themselves into a family photograph belonging to the man, rekindling the warmth of moments he once shared with his loved ones. The stream of fans then drifts toward the next audience member, a couple, forming a portrait that captures the beauty of their journey together. Finally, the small fans arrive at the last person, where they unite to form a photograph of the man’s childhood. It becomes a pure reflection of the cherished memories from his past that ultimately shaped who he is today.
These different images, gathered within a single space, represent the core memories of each individual, something Sewon Screening 12 seeks to evoke. Through the medium of film, we hope this resonance can open new spaces for dialogue: to foster reflection, heal old wounds, and ignite the spirit to keep growing in the future. As the teaser concludes, the Segar Selatan fans spin slowly at first, then faster and faster, signaling that the journey of Sewon Screening 12 is about to begin.
