A closer look at “Reza Rahadian’s ‘Casparina’ Brings His Grandmother’s 1965 Exile Story to Busan Asian Proje”, exactly as the source publishes it. Indonesian actor-director Reza Rahadian is developing his second feature, “Casparina,” inspired by the life of his grandmother Francisca Casparina Fanggidaej, a journalist who was stripped of her Indonesian citizenship in 1965 and spent decades in exile. The project will be presented at the Asian Project Market, held within the Busan International Film Festival, a key platform for connecting filmmakers with international financiers and co-producers.
The film centers on a woman who returns home after years away to children who grew up without her, exploring themes of displacement, family separation, and national identity. Rahadian, known primarily as one of Indonesia’s most acclaimed actors, is expanding his directorial work with this deeply personal story that sheds light on a turbulent period of Indonesian history.
