Pekan Layar Puan
Pekan Layar Puan or Women Screen Weeks is an event designed as a platform and network for women within the film ecosystem to discuss women creators and professionals, films made by women, and the issues surrounding them. This network facilitates an open call for women—whether professionals or simply interested individuals—to visit, engage in continuous learning, and share what sparks their interest regarding women, film, and related topics, including the intersections between film and other sectors of the ecosystem.
The term "individuals/professionals in the film ecosystem" here encompasses not only women working behind or in front of the camera but also those involved in the broader production landscape—such as programmers, researchers, archivists, teachers, artists, publishers, festival/ independent arthouse managers, and advocates. It also extends to those who are still exploring or seeking to learn more—from school and university students to mothers who are fans of films or dramas.
The illustration above highlights the key motivation behind this program: how screenings of works by women can be attended and reinterpreted in diverse ways by the community. This engagement takes various forms, such as post-screening discussions, collective text readings, open classes, and creative, participatory responses—including collages, poetry, or mini-exhibitions. Much like a ribbon connecting one image to another, this initiative serves as a connecting thread among women across generations who share a commitment to nurturing these narratives.
Pekan Layar Puan merupakan perhelatan yang didesain sebagai platform/ jaringan bagi individu puan dalam ekosistem film yang hendak memperbincangkan kreator/ profesional puan, karya film puan maupun isu yang mengitarinya. Jaringan ini mencoba untuk membentuk panggilan terbuka (open call) bagi individu / profesional puan yang hendak berkunjung (visiting), belajar kembali (relearning), dan menyebarkan (spreading) apa yang memantik perhatiannya seputar perempuan, film, dan isu yang mengitarinya. Hingga hal-hal yang sifatnya mengalami interseksionalitas antara film dan ekosistem lainnya.
Individu/ profesional dalam ekosistem film di sini tak hanya dipahami pada perempuan yang bekerja di balik ataupun depan layar,, namun juga yang mengitari ekosistem produksi-nya – seperti programmer, peneliti, arsiparis, seniman, pengajar, publisher, manajer festival/ independen arthouse, atau bahkan advokat. Hingga individu yang masih mencari, mendekati dan ingin mengenal - dari siswa, mahasiswa, ibu penggemar film/ drama sekalipun.
Ilustrasi yang ada di atas menjadi satu catatan penting yang melatar belakangi hadirnya program ini - bagaimana pemutaran karya puan bisa dikunjungi dan dimaknai kembali dalam ragam rupa oleh kawan yang hadir. Baik dalam bentuk diskusi pasca pemutaran, baca teks bersama, kelas terbuka, respon kreatif-partisipatif dalam bentuk kolase/ puisi/ mini pameran, dsb. Seperti pita yang menyambungkan satu potret dengan potret lainnya, pita juga menjadi jaring penghubung antar kawan lintas generasi yang ingin sama-sama merawat narasi.
