Abstract

This study aims to reveal the form of intertextuality between the short film Lamun Sumelang (2019) by Ludy Oji Prastama and the creative work Pulung Gantung: Menyingkap Tragedi Bunuh Diri di Gunungkidul (Pulung Gantung: Uncovering the Tragedy of Suicide in Gunungkidul) (2002) by Darmaningtyas by examining the interconnected meanings, themes, and socio-cultural representations presented in both works. The phenomenon of suicide, which frequently occurs in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta Special Region, has long been a complex social and cultural issue. Although various studies indicate that the main factors contributing to suicide in the region are related to socio-economic pressure, poverty, shame (wirang), and social isolation, most of the community still associates it with the myth of pulung gantung—a reddish celestial light believed to be a sign foretelling death by hanging. A descriptive qualitative analysis is employed using Fitzsimmons (2013) theory of intertextuality and the mise-en-scène approach as a supporting framework for visual analysis in film. The study concludes that Lamun Sumelang represents a reinterpretation and revitalization of the text Pulung Gantung through the medium of cinema presenting an intertextual dialogue between social reality, local myth, and contemporary artistic expression. Through the lens of intertextuality, the film functions not only as a cultural representation but also as an educational and reflective medium for understanding the phenomenon of suicide within rural Indonesian society.

Abstract

This creative work, a short film screenplay adapted from Dee Lestari’s short story Asam Garam, explores the experience of loss and its impact on an individual’s life, the journey through grief, and the process of overcoming grief toward acceptance. These elements are elaborated through a short film screenplay grounded in Kübler-Ross’s (2014) theory of loss and stages of grief, as well as the dual process model of coping with bereavement proposed by Stroebe and Schut (1999). The screenplay is also developed using the adaptation principles outlined by Hutcheon (2006) and Desmond and Hawkes (2006). The narrative centers on Gaspar, a skeptical journalist mourning the death of his father, who is assigned to interview the owner of a popular shop in Papua that sells a mysterious black salt said to make anyone cry without reason. His encounter with the shop owner gradually enables him to accept his loss. This story demonstrates that multiple losses can lead to a series of subsequent losses that shape an individual’s psychological wounds, that the grieving process varies across individuals and is inherently non-linear, and that crying can serve as an initial step toward healing.
