Fala Pratika is a filmmaker and researcher shaped by the intersections of philosophy, inquiry, and Indonesian women’s lived experiences. Her connection to cinema began in childhood through her frequent visits to DVD rental stores—a formative encounter that opened a path toward moving images and personal narratives.

She works across documentary and fiction as a writer, director, and producer, exploring stories that trace the links between memory, the body, and social structures. Her research examines the representation of women in Indonesian cinema, particularly in New Order-era horror and exploitation, and how contemporary viewers reinterpret these figures.

Fala’s works combine research-based thinking with a quiet yet incisive artistic sensibility, creating films that offer emotional intimacy and critical reflection.
