[on the making of "Blind Pig Who Wants to Fly"] "Although most foreigners didn’t quite catch the cultural references or understand the background (Indonesian social history), many understood and identified with the overall feeling of alienation. And that’s important to me: when the film is liberated from having to explain any facts or history or background, it independently expresses a strong feeling of confusion, unease, restlessness and even fear."

    BLIND PIG WHO WANTS TO FLY

    EDWIN Indonesia, 2008

    Well-known for his avant-garde shorts, experimental filmmaker Edwin expands his scope with this eccentric debut: a darkly comic chronicle of a Chinese-Indonesian woman adrift in her own country. An outlandish mosaic of oft-kilter vignettes and riotous gags, guided by an earnest yearning to belong.
