Denpasar, (ANTARA News) - Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik said President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had instrcuted him to make a colossal film on Balinese traditional culture and arta, how they developed, and remained vibrant and full of vitality until the present.
“How Balinese traditional culture and arts evolved since the Majapahit era should be documented and be the theme of a colossal film,” Wacik said on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of a Balinese traditional arts festival here on Saturday.
However, he admitted the President`s instruction had yet to be realized because around Rp 1 trillion in funds would be needed to produce such a film.
“I am still trying to figure out how such a film can be produced with a relatively small amount of funds,” the minister said.
Wacik said he had recently invited a world-class film producer to discuss the process of making the proposed film but it turned out the project would require an enormous amount of funds.
“But hopefully, the problem of funds to make the film can be overcome somehow ,” Jero Wacik said, adding he would count on the support of many parties to realize the president`s instruction.(*)
