Since the beginning of August 2010, Bioskop Permata has been closed down. This film tries to explain about the end of a long Yogyakarta cinema history which, at one point, had reached twenty theaters.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Ardi Wilda Irawan's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Sorry, The Cinema is Closed is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
