His international début was made in the Berlin Film
Festival, when Indonesia was in the middle of a crisis lasting
for the whole 1990s decade. Garin grew alone as the avant
garde of Indonesian cinema. His films obtained access to festivals
such as those in Berlin, Cannes, Tokyo and many others. Among
his works we recall Letter to an Angel (1993), And the Moon
Dances (1995), Fipresci and Netpac Prize at the 1995 Berlin
Film Festival, and Leaf on a Pillow (1997), “Un Certain
Regard” award at the 1998 Cannes International Film
Festival and The Poet (1999).
