TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The annual returns this year to express appreciation for Indonesia’s film industry. This year’s awards took place at Graha Bhakti Budaya at Ismail Marzuki Park in Jakarta on Wednesday, February 5, 2025.

The Tempo Film Festival crowned ‘Yohanna’ (2024) by director Robby Ertanto as ‘Best Film According to Tempo.’ The film, which highlights the issue of child exploitation in East Sumba, also snatches the ‘Best Actress’ category with Laura Basuki.

‘Kabut Berduri’ or ‘Borderless Fog,’ released in 2024, dominates in this year’s awards, taking home three out of seven nominations. Among them are the ‘Best Scriptwriter’ for Edwin—also the director—and Ifan Ismail; ‘Best Actor’ for Yoga Pratama; and ‘Best Supporting Actor’ for Yudi Ahmad Tajudin.
