Number of Films Produced in Indonesia, 2020-2023

According to data from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology—which has since been reorganized into several ministries—the total number of film productions in Indonesia has increased in recent years.

This is evident from the increasing number of Film Production Notification Letters (TPPF). A TPPF is a certificate of approval issued by the minister, given to film production businesses that have notified their production activities.

However, when broken down by type, the upward trend from 2020-2023 is only recorded in the production of animated films, documentaries, short films, feature films, and fiction films. Production of television series and advertisements has decreased.
