Sugar Map

The Glebagan system was created to force farmers to rotate crops and convert some of their land from basic agricultural commodities to industrial raw materials. This system has changed the face of agriculture and shaped the sugar map in various regions in Indonesia. With psychogeographical documentary approach, the film shows the landscape of the sugar map in a village of Krembung region, tracing step by step the sugarcane plantations that occupy farmers' rice fields. It is an observation of a repeating cycle, interjected with past archival footage of sugarcane and people movements.

Directed by Ali Satri Efendi
