[00:00:33] 7,500 cases. Health authorities are now starting vaccine trials
[00:00:37] to assess its protection against the Bundi Bukyo variant which
[00:00:41] triggered the current outbreak. Kogo government data recorded
[00:00:44] 7,541 confirmed Ebola cases with
[00:00:48] 3,639 deaths as of Saturday. The outbreak,
[00:00:51] declared this May, is the largest and deadliest in Congo's
[00:00:55] history. The Director General of the African Center for Disease Control
[00:00:59] stated that the available data confirms the outbreak
[00:01:02] has peaked. The virus is also said to still be
[00:01:04] uncontrolled. The Bundi Bukyo variant that caused
[00:01:08] this outbreak does not yet have a licensed vaccine or specific
[00:01:11] therapy. As a containment measure, around 20,000 healthcare workers
[00:01:15] and frontline workers will receive the Ebola
[00:01:18] Zaire strain vaccine.

[00:03:25] AM.
[00:04:35] Hello, happy Sunday, viewers. We present a variety of
[00:04:38] newstainment information from both domestic
[00:04:42] and international sources. There's music, films and also a lifestyle
[00:04:45] for sure. For the next 1 hour, with me Jason
[00:04:49] Sambuk. But before we watch various interesting information
[00:04:52] in this showbiz, let's watch the weekly highlight below.
[00:04:55] Rose Blackpink officially released
[00:05:06] her latest single titled "New Trick"
[00:05:09] on September 18.
[00:05:53] The film has officially become the highest-grossing film in
[00:05:57] Universal Pictures history.
[00:06:12] Globally since mid-July, it has successfully garnered
[00:06:16] global revenue of up to 29.7
[00:06:19] trillion. This fantastic figure
[00:06:22] also surpassed the record of the film The Dark Knight Rises
[00:06:26] in 2012 which previously held the title
[00:06:30] as the highest-grossing film throughout Nolan's
[00:06:33] career.
[00:06:53] Why are theirs cooler? The sci-fi drama film "Akal Imitasi" highlights the dark side
[00:06:56] of applying artificial intelligence in the world
[00:06:59] of education. It tells the story of an AI-based
[00:07:02] learning system called Pico, which actually
[00:07:07] students. Wow,
[00:07:11] you're a disguised professor, aren't you? Starring
[00:07:15] Tica Bravani and Zaskia Aliakila,
[00:07:18] this film invites viewers to question the true meaning
[00:07:21] of learning, as well as reflecting on the important role
[00:07:25] of teachers, family, and character education in the digital
[00:07:29] era.
[00:07:35] "Akal Imitasi" is ready to greet audiences in cinemas starting
[00:07:39] September 17.
[00:07:56] actor Andrew Garfield who is once again stealing public attention, of course
[00:07:59] through his latest film project
[00:08:03] But what's interesting? What's interesting is that while delving into the role of
[00:08:06] OpenAI CEO Sam Altman,
[00:08:09] Andrew Garfield actually made the decision to completely
[00:08:13] stop using artificial intelligence applications or
[00:08:17] ChatGPT. So what do you think is the reason the
[00:08:21] actor is reluctant to utilize AI
[00:08:24] technology after delving into the life of an important
[00:08:27] figure behind the industry? Let's take a look
[00:08:30] at the following review.
[00:08:49] Oscar-nominated actor Andrew Garfield is entrusted
[00:08:52] with portraying Sam Altman, CEO
[00:08:55] of tech giant OpenAI in the latest biopic film
[00:08:59] titled
[00:08:59] "Artificial."
[00:09:04] The film revolves around the dismissal and re-appointment of Sam
[00:09:08] Altman at OpenAI in late 2023.
[00:09:11] The exploration of the role apparently
[00:09:14] made Garfield increasingly aware of the dangers
[00:09:17] of rapid AI development to the future of jobs
[00:09:20] and the economy of society. Appearing as
[00:09:34] a guest star on the Jimmy
[00:09:37] show, Garfield admitted to having deleted and completely
[00:09:40] stopped using
[00:09:43] whatever you want to say, it's the same thing that happened to me when I did the social network,
[00:09:47] which was I got it off Facebook immediately, I
[00:09:50] got, yeah, I got off, I got off my Chat GPT immediately. I don't
[00:09:54] I don't really know even how to explain why.
[00:09:57] But just the, the more you know and the more
[00:10:00] you you realize we're
[00:10:03] careening into some very unknown territory.
[00:10:07] Garfield's profound transformation into a key figure in the modern
[00:10:10] technology industry has also become one of
[00:10:14] the most anticipated acting performances
[00:10:17] this year.
[00:10:27] Well, viewers, if you're in the country and want to watch a horror film that's
[00:10:31] different from most horror films, there's the film
[00:10:34] "Bisikan Desa Gringsing" which could be a choice or recommendation for you. So
[00:10:38] instead of just relying on jump scares, this film
[00:10:42] offers a mystery-filled puzzle that will surely test our curiosity
[00:10:44] as viewers and
[00:10:48] stir our psychology. Now, interestingly, the film "Bisikan Desa
[00:10:51] Gringsing" is a collaborative production between
[00:10:55] Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, and uses
[00:10:58] virtual production technology in its
[00:11:02] making. So, what do you think are the excitements and
[00:11:05] experiences behind the production process of this film? Follow my
[00:11:08] conversation with the main cast and also the director of this
[00:11:12] film here.
[00:11:34] to your mind when you hear whispers, especially
[00:11:38] if the whispers are mystical, right? You'll probably get
[00:11:41] goosebumps, you'll be scared, right? Why are we suddenly talking about
[00:11:45] whispers? Because on September 24th,
[00:11:48] mark it down, there will be a horror film
[00:11:51] recommended for you and your family, titled "Bisikan Desa
[00:11:55] Gringsing." So, this is the latest Indonesian horror film that
[00:11:58] presents tension, of course, but behind that, there are also
[00:12:02] stories, values that we can explore and later apply
[00:12:05] with our family or closest people.
[00:12:09] So, what kind of inspiration is actually going to be shared? Is this
[00:12:12] just going to be jump scares, just jump scares, or
[00:12:16] is there a deeper value that we can get
[00:12:19] from this film? Now I'm with the cast and also the director
[00:12:23] of the film "Bisikan Desa Gringsing." There's Akni Nihak
[00:12:27] here. Hello Akni, how are you? I'm
[00:12:30] great, thank you. There's also the director, Mas Ivander Tj
[00:12:33] Sukmana. Hello Mas Ivander, how are you? Hello Mas, how are you? I'm good, I'm good,
[00:12:37] everyone. So maybe first I want to go to Akni. Akni, this
[00:12:41] is a new film, "Bisikan Desa Geringsing." So
[00:12:45] why did Akni decide, "Okay, I'll join this horror
[00:12:48] film project"? Is this her first horror film or has she done many? This is not
[00:12:52] the first time, but why did we join this one? First of all, usually
[00:12:56] when I want to take a film, it's based on
[00:12:59] the character, whether the character
[00:13:01] has a soul
[00:13:05] within it, whether it's complex,
[00:13:09] uh-huh, that's one thing first. Second, I look at who the director is, then I look at
[00:13:13] the production house, and when I talked to the director,
[00:13:17] it turned out that, wow, it seems like we can really click,
[00:13:20] that's the first thing. Then the producers
[00:13:23] also felt like they really owned the project,
[00:13:26] so finally all three said yes. And one more thing, this
[00:13:29] was shot abroad. Yes.
[00:13:32] The shooting was in Johor and Singapore. We collaborated
[00:13:36] with three countries. Indeed, this is an ambitious
[00:13:39] project. And when I was told that we would be shooting with VP,
[00:13:43] VP, VP, the shooting uses virtual
[00:13:47] production technology. And I think that's something
[00:13:51] new to me, but I'm also interested and curious to learn.
[00:13:55] And I want to be here, so I was like, "Okay, let's do it, I want to." Maybe I want to ask
[00:13:59] Mas Ivander. I just heard about a horror film being made
[00:14:02] using VP or virtual production. Is it going to be the first
[00:14:05] movie in Indonesia that uses VP or what, Mas?
[00:14:09] Actually, Mas, if it's for the horror
[00:14:12] genre, this film is the first one, the first one, right? Yes, but
[00:14:16] is this the first film that uses VP in
[00:14:19] Indonesia? No, this is the second film. So what's the
[00:14:22] difference if, for example, shooting with VP production compared
[00:14:26] to shooting on a real set, Mas? What's the biggest difference in terms of the process and output, Mas Ivander?
[00:14:29] Actually, the biggest difference
[00:14:33] is the shooting process. If
[00:14:37] this technology shortens
[00:14:40] the shooting time. The shooting
[00:14:44] somewhat prolongs the preparation time, but the shooting
[00:14:48] becomes more effective, shorter,
[00:14:51] and more controlled. Okay, how long was the shooting process with
[00:14:55] this VP, Mas? If it's with VP, if overall,
[00:14:58] we were in Johor for 2 months.
[00:15:02] Uh-huh. But the shooting days were probably
[00:15:04] around 15 days. But what's interesting is
[00:15:08] that Akni also said this was a collaboration with crews from
[00:15:11] Malaysia and Singapore. Tell us,
[00:15:14] Akni, what's the difference when collaborating with crews from
[00:15:18] Malaysia and Singapore compared to the Indonesian crews
[00:15:22] you usually work with? Maybe it's the work ethic.
[00:15:26] What's the difference in work ethic? Usually, in Indonesia,
[00:15:29] maybe we have more breaks. Even when filming, some
[00:15:33] people are still smoking and so on because it's a conventional
[00:15:37] set. But when they're in the studio,
[00:15:41] they're more disciplined, more disciplined because maybe
[00:15:44] their hours are limited, because there are labor
[00:15:48] regulations that require filming
[00:15:51] not to exceed 8 hours. So it's healthy, right?
[00:15:54] This is the healthiest shooting I've
[00:15:58] ever had. The healthiest.
[00:16:00] The healthiest, and somehow I was a bit confused, like, "Oh,
[00:16:04] there's such a healthy shooting like this? I'm not even tired yet."
[00:16:08] Okay, that's from the scheduling aspect, it's very healthy for
[00:16:11] the actors and the cast, right? But in terms of bonding, I also heard
[00:16:15] there were extras from Malaysia or from
[00:16:18] Singapore. How do they carry themselves when they
[00:16:22] have to work with international colleagues?
[00:16:25] It seems like they are very well-trained and professional
[00:16:29] extras, right? They are also generous
[00:16:32] actors, so you can really feel their discipline.
[00:16:36] Everyone who leaves this village
[00:16:39] dies.
[00:16:43] In other horror films, they want to show how scary ghosts
[00:16:46] are. Yes, here it's the opposite,
[00:16:50] how scary humans are, the horror of
[00:16:53] humans, and the excitement
[00:16:54] of this story.
[00:17:00] Eagle Institute Indonesia, an institution focused on education and
[00:17:04] development of documentary films with strong character,
[00:17:08] broad-mindedness and achievements at national and international
[00:17:11] levels. Eagle alumni are spread throughout
[00:17:15] Indonesia, coloring the development of documentary films. Let's
[00:17:18] collaborate to record,
[00:17:22] weave stories and preserve diversity
[00:17:25] with Eagle Institute
[00:19:50] caught on to the scheduling and discipline,
[00:19:53] it's really there. So from Mas Ivander, the director,
[00:19:57] what can be learned from collaborating with Malaysia and
[00:20:01] Singapore, Mas? As for the crew yesterday,
[00:20:04] I was very happy, because all of them
[00:20:08] had good work ethic, very
[00:20:10] disciplined, not ineffective, no small talk, they
[00:20:14] were focused. Uh, not that
[00:20:18] we're not like that, but maybe this is because their
[00:20:21] working hours are set, so when it's over, it's
[00:20:25] over. So maybe their
[00:20:28] energy and focus are sharp. Now back to the story again,
[00:20:32] maybe Akni can tell us about her character, and what
[00:20:36] the story is about in "Bisikan Desa Gringsing" compared to existing
[00:20:39] horror films. What is it actually? If you want to talk about
[00:20:43] what the film wants to convey, let's turn to the director first, right?
[00:20:47] So that maybe Mas can say something after that.
[00:20:50] Yes, if you ask if this is
[00:20:53] different from other horror films, it's definitely different.
[00:20:56] Uh-huh. Uh, actually, I once said this: people always say,
[00:21:00] "This horror is different, this horror is different," right? But
[00:21:04] when we watch it, the kuntilanak is still there,
[00:21:07] appearing
[00:21:10] from under the bed, on top
[00:21:13] of the wardrobe, the window opens, its eyes
[00:21:17] hang, it's always the same, right? Yes, right?
[00:21:20] I mean, the effort is big too to be a kuntilanak.
[00:21:23] So it's already dead.
[00:21:26] So I'm just kidding. What I mean is,
[00:21:30] the challenge is how to make this
[00:21:33] different. That means, uh, honestly, if you call it
[00:21:36] horror, horror doesn't necessarily mean showing
[00:21:40] pocong or kuntilanak
[00:21:43] repeatedly. It's not like that. Horror is something scary,
[00:21:46] right? So from that main thread of scary,
[00:21:50] we create something scary, but not
[00:21:53] in the usual way. That's one thing. Two,
[00:21:56] from the type of story, there's
[00:21:59] a reason why the actors are chosen that way,
[00:22:02] who are very strong in drama. So
[00:22:06] those who have watched it will definitely say this is a psychological
[00:22:09] thriller, but coincidentally, one of the
[00:22:13] characters is a ghost, that's it. But we don't
[00:22:16] rely on jump scares. This isn't it. From the beginning, we're just
[00:22:20] tense, like, have you ever walked into a room
[00:22:24] but the atmosphere isn't right? Someone's fighting. From the moment you walk
[00:22:28] in until we leave, it's
[00:22:30] just, the energy isn't good. That's what
[00:22:33] we're aiming for. So if you want to summarize it or
[00:22:37] label it in one genre, Mas Ivan,
[00:22:40] how would you describe this film's genre? Because there's
[00:22:44] horror, there's... if there's no ghost, it's a psychological
[00:22:48] thriller. Psychological thriller, yes. Okay, but because
[00:22:52] there's also a ghost figure and a ghost character in it,
[00:22:55] right? Okay, what about Akni's character here?
[00:22:59] And actually, what's the conflict that makes it so tense
[00:23:02] and exciting? Can you tell us? Okay, the character's
[00:23:05] name is Hesti. Hesti is a
[00:23:09] woman who is actually mentally ill, you could say. She's
[00:23:12] experiencing trauma that has been around for a very long time and
[00:23:16] hasn't healed, and it seems to be getting worse. She can't tell the story yet.
[00:23:21] And when she needs her father,
[00:23:24] who is her only family, her father
[00:23:27] disappears. And finally, she has to
[00:23:30] look for her father, and the last information
[00:23:34] was that he was in Gringsing village. Her father is missing, that's the story,
[00:23:38] yes. Okay, and actually, her father disappeared because he wanted
[00:23:41] to find a cure for Hesti. Okay, which is in this village.
[00:23:45] Uh-huh. Then Hesti searches and enters the village, and she
[00:23:49] finds that... people who enter that village
[00:23:52] cannot leave again. No matter what, people who are already
[00:23:56] in that village dare not and cannot leave. They will die if
[00:23:59] they leave. Back to Mas Ivan. Now, this story idea,
[00:24:03] I immediately thought of Gringsing village.
[00:24:06] Is this a real village, does it actually exist, or is it fictional, Mas?
[00:24:10] Actually, Mas, this is very funny. A village with the name Gringsing
[00:24:13] does exist near Alas
[00:24:16] in Central Java. Uh, no, this is completely
[00:24:19] a fictional village. Okay, what can
[00:24:23] we expect from this film when we watch
[00:24:27] it? Uh, I feel that when
[00:24:30] we watch films of this
[00:24:33] genre that are good, after watching,
[00:24:35] we will feel exhausted, tired, and like,
[00:24:38] "Oh, I'm tired," mentally
[00:24:41] drained, right? Well, you'll get
[00:24:44] that. Okay, that's guaranteed. In other
[00:24:48] horror films, they want to show how scary ghosts
[00:24:51] are. Yes, here it's the opposite, how scary
[00:24:54] humans are, the horror of humans, and the excitement of this story.
[00:24:58] The horror of humans is what I've been asking about. I asked
[00:25:02] everyone yesterday, if you
[00:25:05] go home, uh-huh, and enter
[00:25:09] find inside, a kuntilanak standing
[00:25:13] there, or someone with a knife?
[00:25:17] The first one, even though neither of them is good, but if... which would
[00:25:20] you prefer? Follow your instincts, right?
[00:25:23] Yes. humans are more dangerous and unpredictable.
[00:25:27] And that's the powerful message that we can perhaps learn.
[00:25:31] So it's also a reflection that we can
[00:25:34] learn from. So thank you, Akni, thank you also,
[00:25:38] Mas Mana, for sharing with us, from the cast and
[00:25:41] also the director of the film "Bisikan Desa Gringsing" which will be showing in cinemas throughout
[00:25:45] Indonesia. And equally cool information about this film is still
[00:25:49] coming up after this. Stay
[00:26:26] If we talk about something to be proud of and inspirational, viewers, there's a drama film
[00:26:30] by director Kamila Andini titled "4 Musim Pertiwi" which
[00:26:34] was officially selected as an official selection for the Toronto International Film
[00:26:37] Festival 2026. And its two main actors, Arya Saloka and
[00:26:41] Putri Marino, admitted that they had to undergo five extreme workshops
[00:26:45] for 2 months to be able to deepen their respective characters.
[00:26:48] Starting from horseback riding, sign language, and even
[00:26:52] Javanese, also driving jeep cars, up to martial
[00:26:56] arts techniques, of course. So what were their struggles behind
[00:26:59] the scenes? Let's watch it together. Here's the information.
[00:27:21] tells the story of Pertiwi, a woman who returns to her hometown
[00:27:25] after 20 years away and must
[00:27:28] confront the past events of her life.
[00:27:32] The film, officially selected for the Official Selection of the Toronto
[00:27:35] International Film Festival 2026,
[00:27:39] stars Putri Marino as
[00:27:42] Pertiwi.
