As day breaks in Jakarta, Indonesia, a man tends to his pigeons on a rooftop. Down on the street, a bustling crowd has gathered round a truck distributing rice. Children risk being crushed underfoot as they scrabble for grains which have been dropped to the ground. Disgusted, one woman gives up and walks away. “The Eye Of The Day” is the three year labour of filmmaker Leonard Retel Helmrich, who using a Mini DV camera, captured the life and times of Indonesians through political chaos and a depressed economy. In particular, he follows Rumidja and her two grown sons, Dwi and Barkti, as they try, not only to survive, but to have some fun as well. |
