<![CDATA[Autoethnographic Reflection on the Narrative of Chinese-Indonesian Citizenship Post-New Order through Documentary Film Generasi Sekian (2015). This paper discusses a 19-minute documentary film titled Generasi Sekian, which I produced in 2015. The film recounts my family's journey navigating our identity as Chinese-Indonesians between 2012 and 2014. Generasi Sekian employs a video diary style, with the shooting and editing processes carried out entirely by myself. This research uses a qualitative method, reading the narrative of Generasi Sekian as a text to analyze the citizenship narrative of a Chinese-Indonesian family. A reflective analysis using an autoethnographic approach operates across three layers: me as a family subject in the film, me as the filmmaker, and me as the researcher. The analysis is conducted by dividing the film into five sequences, by the time, location, and scenes. Furthermore, it elaborates on the embedded intertitles. This study outlines how an independent film utilizing a video diary style presents the lived experiences and meaning-making of post-New Order citizenship narratives of a Chinese-Indonesian family during times of socio-political turbulence. The narrative reading utilizes the concepts of order and voice from Gerard Genette's narratology. Order is used to unravel the dramatics of the anachronic editing arrangement of narrative time over story time fragments, while voice is used to read the intertitle narratives as a homodiegetic narrator.]]>
