Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia Delft

Delft, 14 February 2025 – From the pioneering frames of 1926 to the high-energy blockbusters of today, InDelftnesia 2026: Sinema Nusantara took us on a journey through the evolution of Indonesian film—a true mirror of our national identity and collective values. We were thrilled to welcome around 300 visitors who joined us to experience a vibrant blend of live music, historical exhibitions, and interactive games, all while exploring our costume booth and savoring the flavors of our authentic food bazaar.

This celebration was brought to life in partnership with X TU Delft and made possible through the heartfelt support of the Indonesian Embassy in The Hague (KBRI Den Haag), the Student Community Fund TU Delft, and Gemeente Delft. Without their invaluable contributions, this immersive cultural experience wouldn’t have been the same! We are also incredibly proud to have collaborated with our dedicated media partners: IDN (Indonesian Diaspora Network, The Netherlands), IPA NL (Indonesian Professionals in NL), and the PPI chapters of Belanda, Tilburg, Rotterdam, and Wageningen.

Highlights of the Event

• Music Performance: A live trip down memory lane featuring iconic soundtracks from the 70s to the 2000s, bringing the “Suara Nusantara” to the stage.

• Static Exhibition: A curated walk-through of Indonesian cinema history, displayed on physical panels for an immersive educational experience.

• Digital Exhibition: A modern look at our film evolution using digital displays to showcase the changing face of Indonesian storytelling.

• Interactive Games: Engaging challenges designed to test visitors’ knowledge of cinema while having fun with the community.

• Costume Booth: A dedicated space where attendees can dress up as their favorite movie characters and capture the magic of the screen.

• Warung: A nostalgic hangout spot featuring “Minuman Warung” sachets, recreating the classic social atmosphere of Indonesian street-side stalls.

• Food Stall: A culinary journey featuring contemporary favorites like the spicy Ayam Geprek, authentic Batagor, and Soto.

InDelftnesia 2026 successfully brought the spirit of the silver screen to Delft, proving that film is a powerful tool for cultural connection. By blending history, music, and food, we celebrated our shared identity and strengthened the ties between Indonesia and our international friends at TU Delft. See you at the next one!
