Rasa Dari Tari/The Soul of Dance: Contemporary Dance in Indonesia (excerpt)
The longest excerpt, at the end, is of Rizki Suharlin Putri performing Yola Yulfianti’s Update Status.
I hadn't seen City News since the mid-1980s, when it was new and I was rather newer than I am now, until watching it again yesterday morning; it's a work with rough edges and concessions to a low budget, but I think it holds up OK as an example of indy cinema of its time, with some nice witty bits mixed into the dialog and narration (and, geek alert, a gratuitous citation of SCTV character Jerry Todd treated as if he was a Rex Reed-style film reviewer). Sad how many PBS productions have fallen into holes after their broadcast, due to a variety of copyright and other concerns...the Kurt Vonnegut adaptation-melange, Between Time and Timbuktu, featuring some amusing improvisation by Bob and Ray (KV was a fan) is incompletely up in pieces on YouTube, though apparently pretty easy to find on the gray market.
