Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Indonesia

Fiksi. is a 2008 Indonesian thriller film and the directorial debut of Mouly Surya. The film follows Alisha, a young woman who leaves her family mansion and moves into a modest apartment, where she encounters eccentric neighbours whose stories she gradually weaves into her obsessive fantasies. Surya has described Fiksi. as an "adult re-invention" of Alice in Wonderland, with the character of Alisha presented as an inverted version of Alice.

Production

Surya met her future husband and collaborator Rama Adi while working as an assistant director on Rako Prijanto's 2007 films D'Bijis and Love Is Red. In 2007, they co-founded the film production company Cinesurya and secured funding to produce Fiksi., based on a screenplay developed by Surya.

The pair sought advice from established filmmaker Riri Riza on producing their first feature film. He recommended collaborating with more experienced practitioners during the development process, which led them to work with producer Tia Hasibuan and writer-director Joko Anwar. Anwar spent approximately one month revising Surya's draft and was subsequently credited as a co-writer.

In March 2020, a behind-the-scenes film directed by then lesser-known filmmakers Yosep Anggi Noen and B. W. Purbanegara was released on Cinesurya's YouTube channel.
