Je ne crois plus tellement au destin. Le destin est une invention de gens qui aiment donner un scénario aux accidents. Je préfère croire aux rencontres, aux erreurs, aux trains ratés, aux rues prises au hasard, aux soirées qui devaient durer une heure et qui vous trouvent encore là à quatre heures du matin. Si quelque chose mérite d’être appelé destin, c’est peut-être simplement notre capacité à faire quelque chose de l’inattendu. taken in Paris, France by @juliorionaldo

Bestiary — Director Notes:

This film was made a long time ago.

At the time, its director was still a young wunderkind who probably thought he knew what he was doing (Plot twist: he does not).

The film was intimate. It was strange. It was about sorrow, and about the things people carry with them after someone is gone.

Then we let it go.

It travelled to places we never expected. It was watched by people we never knew. And slowly, it became less about the people who made it and more about the people who found something of themselves in it.

After one of the premieres, an old woman came up to the director. She spoke a language he didn't understand. He spoke a language she didn't understand.

But she wanted to thank him.
She told him that Bestiary reminded her of someone she had lost.

And for a moment, the person who made the film didn't really have anything to say. Because there she was, standing in front of him, carrying a feeling that had nothing to do with him anymore. She had made it hers.

I think that's one of the strangest things about making movies.

You spend so much time trying to make something mean something.

And then, if you're lucky, someone somewhere finds their own meaning in it.

Maybe that's why we make things in the first place. Maybe someone will see this, far away. Maybe they will feel something they thought only belonged to them.

And maybe, for a little while, they will feel understood.

Maybe that's what happens when you make something.

You let it go. And sometimes, it travels farther than you ever could ever imagine.

Julio Rionaldo: Liminal Cinema

The Jakarta-based cinéaste crafts cinema that is difficult to categorize.

Audience responses reflect that: Some disconnect. Some hold onto specific moments. Pauses, lingering feelings, gestures that feel complete without explanation.

These moments exist outside the film’s forward movement. Points where the narrative stops and stays long enough for something to register.

This is often described as the “liminal space” of his films. It isn’t accidental, but it isn’t rigidly planned either. It’s consistent throughout his filmography, where time stops and visceral emotions bleed through the screen to the audience. Long after the credits roll.

Within that space, the process shifts. Actors stop aiming for precise performance and respond more instinctively. Cinematographers observe instead of impose. Scenes extend if something is still unfolding.

The work becomes less about executing a plan and more about recognizing when something real is happening and not interrupting it.

The audience experiences something similar. Instead of recalling plot, they remember sensations. Moments that feel personal, even if they can’t fully explain why. Sometimes like remembering something lived rather than watched...

We bump into moments.
they invite us in.

It felt random.
It never was.

We call it coincidence.
Then we call it cinema 🎥🎞️
