Abstract :
Makalah ini mengkaji secara kontekstual perkembangan industri film Indonesia pasca-Orde Baru dan pengaruhnya dalam gerakan reformasi film. Pasca-Orde Baru memperlihatkan adanya pergantian rezim politik yang diikuti oleh perkembangan pesat teknologi komunikasi memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terutama membuka kesempatan bagi sutradara film muda untuk berkarya. Penelitian ini mempertanyakan bagaimana komunitas film memanfaatkan era keterbukaan ini dan bagaimana mereka menegosiasi kemunculan kelompok masyarakat yang cenderung memaksakan standar dan nilai-nilai moral yang konservatif akan menjadi pembahasan utama dalam makalah ini. Teori queermenjadi bingkai analisis penelitian ini dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Hasil atau pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa konteks sosial dan politik menunjukkan arah yang berbeda karena pada saat yang sama, reformasi sosial politik memunculkan tren yang berlawanan dengan kebebasan berekspresi. Pada titik ini, backlash (penyerangan balik) dan kekerasan atas nama perbedaan gender dan orientasi seksual akan menjadi ancaman serius bagi kebebasan berekspresi dan berpendapat dalam ranah publik.Kata kunci: era Reformasi, industri film, konservatisme, liberalisasi, queerAbstractThis paper examines the context of the development of Indonesian film industry since 1998, and more broadly, the social and political environment of the Post-New Order era. By examining the impact of the reform movement on Indonesia’s film world, it demonstrates that the political shift, accompanied by changes in media technologies, not only stimulated the emergence of underground film movement but also opened up a revival of the Indonesian film industry, which had collapsed in the last stage of New Order era. The paper focuses on how the film communities have negotiated the attempted enforcement of conservative moral values and to what extent their attempts correspond to the agendas being pursued by liberal Muslims and women’s organisations. Queer theory was the framework of this paper by using qualitative methodology. In the context of the social and political context of film production, the study shows how the liberalisation of the film industry, of which these filmmakers were prominent exponents, came under threat from the emergence of conservative Islamic organisations and formalist Islamic parties that were opposed to the trend towards liberalisation and sexual openness. In this way, backlash and gender based-violence towards homosexual activities and queer representations can be seen as an outcome of a contest between conservatism and liberalisation in a newly liberated public sphere.Keywords: conservatism, Indonesia’s film industry, liberalisation, Reformation era, queer
