Film Lens

Pulejajar
Pulejajar follows Rubiyanto, a villager from Desa Jepitu, as he leads a water extraction project from Gua Pulejajar with the help of volunteers. The film captures the significance of this water reserve, which not only provides hope for the villagers but also serves as a connection to the past for Echa, a cultural anthropology student participating in the project for her research. Echa's involvement is deeply personal, as it reignites her spiritual relationship with her late father, a former activist associated with Gua Pulejajar. The documentary, directed by Khusnul Khitam, runs for 70 minutes and intertwines themes of community, activism, and personal history. It presents a narrative that reflects the importance of water resources in rural areas while also addressing the emotional ties individuals have to their heritage and family legacies.
