Seriale Indonesia
Film Festival

Seriale Indonesia © Goethe-Institut Bandung

is the sister festival of the renowned German festival die Seriale. Indonesian series are currently on the rise — on television, on streaming platforms, and as independent web series. With this festival, we specifically promote the creativity and professionalism of Indonesian and German series creators, opening up new opportunities for the industry. Join us as we present series from Germany, Indonesia, and around the world in Indonesia.

In 2026, the festival will take place for the second time. The deadline for submitting new series will be announced here soon.

Road to Seriale 2026


Road to Seriale Indonesia 2026 is a series of regional events in which the winning series from 2025 are presented to a wider audience.
This tour brings the festival program to various locations across Indonesia and beyond: to Sumedang, Cirebon, Sumatra, Bali,and Jakarta, as well as internationally to Timor-Leste. With this initiative, we aim to strengthen access to new series productions, encourage exchange between filmmakers and audiences, and increase the visibility of Indonesian creativity in different regions. 

The Road to Seriale Indonesia 2026 thus marks the beginning of a festival year that once again brings outstanding series, diverse perspectives, and vibrant networking within the international series community to Indonesia.
