    What's the story

    The international documentary Labs and Forum Docs-by-the-Sea is presenting and showcasing work-in-progress films for the first time at the Marde u Film's Cannes Docs. Curator Gugi Gumilang spoke about the importance of showcasing films at such a global level and how it will help in representation.

    Gumilang also featured in the Docs-in-Progress jury in 2022's edition of the Cannes Film Festival.

    Representation

    Gumilang spoke about the lack of Asian representation

    Gumilang spoke to Variety and said, "There's a lack of Asian representation. It's really tough for documentary filmmakers in Asia, few countries have film funds."

    The showcased projects range from various human rights issues—LGBTQ+ to land ownership rights. The projects include A Distant Call, Islands of the Wind, Tens Across the Border and The Tongue of Water.
