Glorious Achievement in “Algation” Short Movie Competition

Started with hobby and ended with glory”, it is the proper words for short movie team of JH Sekolah Global Mandiri Jakarta. They combine the hobby, hard work and sacrifice to create a master piece for Algation ( Al Azhar Kelapa Gading Games and Competition). The students make short movie entitled Nasionalisme(?). They spent their midterm holiday in school to make the movie.  Well, finally they get the achievement as 1^st winner of short movie in Al Azhar Kelapa Gading Competition.

The short movie team consists of 19 students. They are Angel from Y9 Sassafras as cameramen, Prota from Y9 Sassafras as video editor, Yasyfa from Y9 Sassafras as script writer and Aisha from Y8 Redbud as director. The main actor and actress are Damar from Y9 Sassafras as Lesmana and Aurel from Y7 Chestnut as Stella, while the other players are figuran(supernumerary). 

The short movie tells about wrong nationalism. The main actor, Lesmana is the character that always blames his friends because they listen western music, reading Japanese comic and western novel. Lesmana feels that he is the nationalist student in the school because he always listen national songs, reading Indonesian book and know more about how to be Indonesian.

 The wrong nationalism character from Lesmana, makes him weird and his friends keep away from him. In this condition, Stella comes in Lesmana’s life. First, they meet in school library when Lesmana was angry to his friends because his friends talking about Korean artist. Then Lesmana meet again with Stella in front of class, Stella tells about the right nationalism to Lesmana. In the end of story Lesmana aware that nationalism is more than listening Indonesian songs and reading Indonesian novel.
