The 6th President of Indonesia Praises the Film "I Choose the Sky Route"

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), attended the Gala Premiere of the film "Kupilih Jalur Langit" in Jakarta. The Ministry of Creative Economy expressed its appreciation for the film, which further enriches the Indonesian film industry.

"Watching the film "Kupilih Jalur Langit" has a story that depicts the drama of life, filled with love and tears. This is a proud Indonesian film, and it features a character who cannot escape the past, but can have a happy ending," the 6th President of Indonesia stated after attending the gala premiere on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Creative Economy, Teuku Riefky Harsya, who was also in attendance, emphasized the government's commitment to supporting and maintaining the trend of watching national films, thereby creating a wider variety of stories and quality film genres. The film "Kupilih Jalur Langit" itself will be released in Indonesian cinemas on April 23, 2026.

"The Ministry of Creative Economy highly recommends the film "Kupilih Jalur Langit," which boasts excellent storytelling and the extraordinary acting of a cast that truly captures the spirit of a family. This Indonesian film is presented in a very enjoyable way and provides inspiration on how we should maintain family unity," said the Minister of Creative Economy.

The Indonesian film industry itself continues to demonstrate positive dynamics and is increasingly solid, both in terms of production, quality of work, and domestic market confidence. Every film produced undoubtedly has a broad economic impact by absorbing creative workers, driving other creative economy subsectors, and strengthening the monetization of intellectual property. The challenge going forward is to ensure sustainable production growth that is increasingly competitive in the global market.

"The current development of the Indonesian film industry is very encouraging, with the continued increase in audience numbers. Hopefully, more Indonesian films will also be screened globally or on international screens," said the Minister of Creative Economy.

The film "Kupilih Jalur Langit" addresses the reality of facing life when things don't always go as expected. This religious film draws reflection on the fact that in every situation, there is always room to return to values and beliefs to make life decisions once you have a family.
