    UNIKOM Supports Indonesian Works Through The Gala Premier Of The Animated Film “Panji Tengkorak”

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) demonstrated its commitment to supporting the creativity and works of Indonesian youth through the gala premiere of Falcon Pictures’ animated film Panji Tengkorak, held at the Paris Van Java (PVJ) Mall Cinema in Bandung, attended by a number of UNIKOM lecturers and academic staff on Sunday, August 24, 2025.

    The animated film Panji Tengkorak is one of the works that demonstrates the progress of the country’s creative industry, particularly in the field of animation. UNIKOM’s presence at the event was a form of appreciation and real encouragement for the nation’s works to continue to gain recognition, both nationally and internationally. Panji Tengkorak itself is an Indonesian animated film directed by Daryl Wilson from a screenplay written by Agung Prasetiarso and Theo Arnoldy.

    The Head of the Animation & Multimedia Division at UNIKOM, Robby Ul Pratama, S.E., said that this event was a real form of support from UNIKOM, especially for Falcon Pictures and Kumata Studio as the production houses for the animated film Panji Tengkorak. He also expressed his gratitude to Falcon Pictures for extending a special invitation to UNIKOM by providing 50 seats at the gala premiere. “We hope that through this film, UNIKOM students and the younger generation will be further motivated to work in the field of animation and contribute to the development of Indonesia’s creative industry,” he said.

    UNIKOM Faculty of Design lecturers Ivan Kurniawan, S.Sn, M.Ds., and Irma Rochmawati, M.Ds., assessed that the film adaptation, narrative strength, and storyline in Panji Tengkorak were presented exceptionally well. Both hope that this work can inspire UNIKOM students to produce animation works that are of equal quality and able to compete at the national and international levels.

    Meanwhile, Panji Tengkorak director Daryl Wilson expressed his hope that this animated film can show that the Indonesian animation industry is capable of producing works that are widely accepted by the public. He also emphasized that an animation project involves many professionals from various fields, so the continuity of similar projects, even on a larger scale, is very much needed. “That way, creators have the opportunity to continue working, produce more quality animations, and bring the Indonesian creative industry to the world stage,” he concluded.

    UNIKOM’s support for the arts and creative industry has also been realized through research collaborations, academic programs, and student activities in the fields of animation, design, and digital technology, including the animated film JUMBO, which became the best-selling animated film in Indonesia, and Super Neli, whose work was successfully published on national television. By participating in the gala premiere of Panji Tengkorak, UNIKOM further solidifies its role as a university that encourages students and the younger generation to dare to create, innovate, and contribute to the nation.
