Community Capacity Building

Since 2011, the akumassa Program, initiated and implemented by Forum Lenteng, has launched a capacity-building subprogram for community groups that had previously participated in akumassa workshops since 2008. This subprogram engaged three communities: Saidjah Forum (Rangkasbitung, Lebak, Banten), Djuanda (Ciputat, South Tangerang, Banten), and Pasirputih (Pemenang, North Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara).

The subprogram was implemented in a rotating sequence, beginning with Saidjah Forum. Each phase of the program produced a documentary film as its primary output, developed through close collaboration between Forum Lenteng and the respective community.

As a result of this collaborative framework, the documentary Dongeng Rangkas was produced by Forum Lenteng and Saidjah Forum in 2011. This was followed in 2012 by The Dragon Walks on Water, produced by Forum Lenteng in collaboration with the Djuanda community. In 2013, Forum Lenteng partnered with the Pasirputih community to produce the documentary Elesan Deq A Tutuq.
