| Description | Nowadays film festival is no longer a mere showcase for films; it also engages in production and distribution. It all began with the Rotterdam film festival with its Hubert Bals Fund, where Indonesian filmmakers began to receive funding from European film festivals. This raised a number of issues, which become the focus of this paper. Two of such issues are the suspicion about hegemony practices which operate between the funding providers and the receivers, and whether the funded films contribute to the development of Indonesian cinema, and, if so, what the contributions are. This study reveals that a funding program is like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the hegemony practices have brought some impacts on the representation of Indonesia. Funded films tend to perpetuate the stigma of Indonesia as a third world country. On the other hand, the funding also brings positive impact to the development of Indonesian cinema. The funding becomes a training ground to sharpen the skills of filmmakers, as well as an arena to improve, develop, and promote themselves. As a result, the Indonesian cinema has been enriched by a significant number of experienced filmmakers, a condition which will ultimately make a positive impact to the development of the cinema itself.
