Tu Harimau (That's the Tiger) (2021)

Tu Harimau, shot on coarse-grained black-and-white film during a trip to Malaysia, is a portrait of Edi Purnomo. Copony accompanies the local rubber tapper at work, a task in the jungle that essentially involves listening to the surroundings. We see him exploring the forest, collecting, waiting, and smoking. As he leans against a tree trunk and the shadows of the fan-like foliage cast tiger stripes across his face, the camouflage blends with the beginning of a transformation.
