Lumbung Patah Arang

In the pages of a farmer's handwritten journal, the fracture of a village comes into view. At the foot of Mount Gede, the expansion of a geothermal project tears into land considered sacred, seizing ground its people have worked for generations. Grassroots resistance slowly decays into suspicion between neighbours, until residents themselves are driven to a boiling point of helplessness. Following the ink trail and personal archive of farmer-activist Cece Jaelani, On the Verge of Seething traces how collective rage hardens into an inherited fate, culminating in an ancient act: residents pleading for the mountain itself to erupt.

Menyulam Lobang departs from the story of a mother who is forced to leave her bamboo stilt house and move into a concrete structure. This personal transition becomes a reflection on the paradox of modernity, where human development reshapes the earth to sustain comfort like embroidering the abyss . Through fragments of 35mm imagery, the film explores material fragility, time, and memory, suggesting that every structure we build carries traces of loss and unseen damage.
