“Kisah Lelly Sang Pengulik dan Laskar Penyelamat Bumi” (Director Joaquim Baeta)

 in News

My tune “The Chaff Can Catch the Light” shows up in Joaquim Baeta‘s short Kisah Lelly Sang Pengulik dan Laskar Penyelamat Bumi.

About the Film, from Internet Archive:

In ‘Kisah Lelly Sang Pengulik dan Laskar Penyelamat Bumi’ (Lelly the Investigator and the Wayfaring Rangers of the Enigmatic Earth), we are introduced to a mysterious figure (Lelly), who works in the dark depths of a university building, and her army of soldiers (students), commissioned to protect and save the Earth. These young warriors discuss their approaches, while their leader reveals how she deploys her various kinds of carrots and (drum)sticks to motivate and encourage them. Will she succeed in her mission? I have no idea.

Silliness aside, this short film melds an introduction (in Bahasa Indonesia) to Lelly and the work of her students, along with the accoutrements that encompass being her supervisee, including her so-called 24-hour service, life-time consultation, and ‘free gym,’ all with humourous terms and conditions. Meanwhile, the work described runs the gamut of her expertise: plant and wildlife ecology, the intersections of humans and nature, and habitat modelling.
