Abstract

At present, various national film titles have begun to dominate in all regions of Indonesia. Beginning around 2018, the number of film viewers in the country reached 50 million people, an extraordinary achievement, with only 42 million in the previous year. Increasing the number of film viewers in Indonesia certainly can not be separated from the hard work of creative producers in the field of film that continues to produce real work with a variety of interesting, creative content, and of course, contains elements of humanism and culture of the homeland that are still in great demand today. Indonesia, which has a rich cultural and regional potential, has a great opportunity to continue to develop the film industry by raising a variety of content that is culturally charged, and historical value with a little added element of romance in the storyline. However, at the time of the growing popularity of national films, the domestic film industry in several regions in Indonesia still faces many very complex problems, including the Sidoarjo Regency in East Java. Various attempts were made by the government of the Sidoarjo Regency to revive the film industry in its area, one of which was the holding of the 2019 Sidoarjo Film Festival (SFF) in collaboration with Sidoarjo Creative (Sirive). This study aims to determine the efforts of the Sidoarjo Regency Government in reviving the film industry through SSF 2019 as one of the new business opportunities for young creators in the Sidoarjo region, through a qualitative approach with interview methods to the Government Public Relations of Sidoarjo and Sirive (key informant) as the organizer of SFF 2019, and young Sidoarjo creators (informants) as SFF 2019 participants. The results of the study found that SFF 2019 was much sought after by young creators in honing and developing talent in producing indie or short movies so that they were expected to be able to become new business opportunities in creative content in the Sidoarjo regency through activities similar in a variety of event formats, in the form of focus group discussion, workshops, seminars, film festivals, and screening day.
