Description

George Clark & Bunga Siagian, UK/Indonesia, 2023-24, video, sound, 20min

Karmapala: Through The Forbidden Scenes seeks to imagine an unmade film by Indonesian Leftist director Bachtiar Siagian (1923-2002) whose production was halted by the 1965 anti-communisit purges. Utilising the idea of reincarnation central to Bachtiar’s film, Bunga Siagian and George Clark have assembled various traces with including a re-edit of an epic TV series made in the year of Bachtiar Siagian’s death as well as memories of film critic Krishna Sen and other fragments.
