The Asia Pacific Film Festival in Indonesia, scheduled to kick off Nov. 18 in Jakarta, has been postponed because of the global economic crisis, organizers said.
Sponsors were concerned about a drop in the number of overseas visitors as the festival falls in the calendar just after the ongoing Tokyo International Film Festival and October’s Pusan International Film Festival and competes for time almost directly with the Asia Pacific Screen Awards in Australia, the second edition of which is set for mid-November.
This year the fest was expected to host 350 delegates from the 21 member countries and screen 61 films. However, interest has reportedly been lackluster with almost 60% of delegates canceling at the last minute.”
