Production

[edit]

The film's producer Sheila Timothy revealed that the idea of Tabula Rasa was conceived four years earlier, after being inspired by her mother who continued cooking even after her father's death.[2][3] Early in the development, Timothy revealed plans to juxtapose Minangkabau culture with African culture. However, this idea was shelved due to logistical issues.[4] Screenwriter Tumpal Tampubolon conducted extensive research in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, and Serui, Papua.[5] The research involved chef Adzan Tri Budiman and writer Reno Andam Suri as culinary advisors and choreographer Tom Ibnur as a dialect coach and cultural advisor.[6][7]

Principal photography began in January 2014 in Jakarta, Bogor, and Serui. In Serui, more than 200 local residents participated as extras during the filming.[8]

Release

[edit]

Tabula Rasa was released theatrically in Indonesia on 25 September 2014.[9] The film was screened at the 2018 Sofia International Film Festival on 23 March 2018, as the first Indonesian film to screen at the festival.[10]
