## What the grant funds

Project Background, Goals, and Objectives The Creative Industries Film Lab and Residency – American Film Showcase 2026 is a five-day public diplomacy program aligned with the American Film Showcase 2026 Envoy visit and scheduled during the Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival Market 2026. The program includes two main components: Exhibition Booth: In partnership with Jogja-NETPAC, the program will secure and construct an 81m² (9m x 9m) professionally designed, interactive exhibition booth featuring American Film Showcase and Freedom 250 branding. The booth will showcase American film, U.S. technological innovation, American contributions to cinematic arts, and U.S. companies and industry standards. It will serve as the primary platform for the American Film Showcase Envoy’s public engagement, hosting expert-led panel discussions on topics including American film, digital freedom, intellectual property rights, and artificial intelligence. Residency participants may join the Envoy in the booth as panelists or demonstrators, amplifying the reach and impact of U.S.-led training. The booth may also showcase U.S. companies, technology, and innovation, and host expert-led panel discussions on topics such as American Film, digital freedom, intellectual property rights, and artificial intelligence with local and U.S. film professionals. Film Residency: The residency will bring together 30 emerging and mid-career Indonesian filmmakers for immersive, hands-on training and an American Film envoy in cinematography, directing, production design, and American technology and standards, while facilitating industry knowledge exchange through expert-led panels, production company visits, networking sessions, and university engagements. This initiative advances a strategic opportunity to deepen U.S.-Indonesia diplomacy and economic prosperity at a moment when Indonesia’s Creative Economy Ministry has identified the United States as a priority partner for its national creative ecosystem and expanding the creative economy is a part of the bilateral Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. By advancing the Policy Diplomacy Strategic Plan Objective 2.1 — increasing foreign public understanding of American innovation, education, culture, and creativity — the program will build sustainable professional networks that position the United States and American technology as Indonesia's preeminent choice for creative economy development.
