Biography from TheMovieDB

Director | Writer | Producer | Cultural Archivist | Social Impact Educator  Ebi Wijaya Latumeten is an Indonesian filmmaker, writer-director, and cultural archivist whose work uncovers hidden stories in Southeast Asia through cinema, theater, and digital storytelling. He founded Bumi Manusia Foundation, a non-profit platform that combines education, creative therapy, and youth empowerment for marginalized communities across Indonesia.  At the heart of Ebi Wijaya’s practice is a commitment to social transformation through narrative. As a mentor at Rumah Singgah Anak Semua Bangsa, he transformed a shelter into a creative sanctuary for young people affected by poverty, bullying, and generational trauma using film and art as healing tools.  His debut feature Behind the Secret , produced entirely in the shelter setting, combines documentary realism with poetic symbolism to reveal the raw struggles of underrepresented voices in Indonesia. The film has been acclaimed for its emotional depth and bold perspective on identity, inequality, and resilience. Ebi Wijaya’s storytelling combines archival memory, grassroots truth-telling, and community cinema, creating a unique voice in global independent film. He stands at the intersection of art and activism, using the camera as both mirror and scalpel to reflect, heal, and transform.  ISNI: 0000 0005 2728 2121

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
