Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Govt promotes animation industry

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Govt promotes animation industry

Andi Haswidi, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

Acknowledging a growing demand for Indonesian talent in the U.S. animation industry, an Indonesian trade mission led by Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu is currently in Los Angeles, California, to promote the industry.

"Indonesian people have exported their talent in animation to globally-known animation companies such as Walt Disney. We are committed to supporting this," Mari said in Los Angeles in a statement released Saturday.

Mari said her ministry, together with the Industry Ministry and the State Ministry for Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises, had been preparing a road map under the Indonesian Design Power initiative in order to promote and develop the country's creative industry.

Analysts have said the country's animation industry, which to some extent has benefited from the growing illegal trade in film and animation software, began to form an outsourcing animation network with the U.S. and Europe from the late 1990s.

Animation industries in other countries have also sought the expertise of Indonesian artists. Jakarta-based Castle Production has received animation project orders from countries including Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Thailand and England.

Aside from promoting talent in the animation industry, Mari is also investigating the possibility of U.S.-based movie firms using Indonesia as part of their production base.

"California is the center of the creative world because it is home to the Hollywood film industry.

"We are exploring the possibility of the Hollywood film industry exploiting Indonesia's beautiful and unique landscape and also working with local companies, the number of which has grown quite significantly," she said.

"Los Angeles is one of the most important cities for business. And apart from expanding export potential and attracting investors, California is also an ideal place for promoting Indonesian tourism," she said.

During her visit to L.A., Mari led a business forum that was attended by approximately 150 businesspeople from California and several Indonesian businesspeople.

According to the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), in the first quarter of 2007 there were 12 investment projects taking place in Indonesia involving U.S. investors, with a total estimated value of $106 million.

During the forum, the minister also held several meetings with potential investors while several members of the Indonesian delegation, most of whom were from private firms, held meetings with U.S. business players.
