On August 9, an Inspiring cinematic journey unfolded at the Erasmus Huis Library with the screening of “Gado-Gado Part 2,” a compelling collection of six thought-provoking Indonesian short films. This event marked a significant step on the Road to the 100% Manusia Film Festival 2025—Indonesia’s human rights film festival.

Presented through the collaborative efforts of the Dutch Embassy, Erasmus Huis Jakarta, and 100% Manusia Film Festival, this unique curation served as a vibrant bridge between Indonesian and Dutch creative industries. Acting as a cultural connector, the Embassy and Erasmus Huis fostered meaningful exchanges among film professionals, institutions, and diverse audiences, creating a space where stories come alive and dialogues begin.

At the heart of the event was a shared conviction: film is a powerful catalyst for dialogue, a platform to promote human rights, and a source of inspiration for social change. The upcoming 9th edition of the 100% Manusia Film Festival is set to open from September 4 to 14, 2025, in Jakarta and Yogyakarta, promising to continue this important work.
