Goodfellas to Handle World Sales on Kamila Andini's 'Four Seasons in Java' Ahead of Toronto Premiere
Goodfellas has acquired international sales rights to Indonesian director Kamila Andini's 'Four Seasons in Java,' which will have its world premiere in the Centrepiece programme at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Putri Marino and is produced by Ifa Isfansyah through Forka Films.
Goodfellas has taken international sales rights to «Four Seasons in Java,» the latest feature from Indonesian filmmaker Kamila Andini, ahead of the film's world premiere in the Centrepiece programme at the Toronto International Film Festival. The acquisition places one of Southeast Asia's most distinctive directorial voices in the hands of a leading European sales outfit as the fall festival season approaches.
The film stars Putri Marino as Pertiwi, a woman who returns to her village after an absence that the source material does not fully detail. Produced by Ifa Isfansyah through the Indonesian production company Forka Films, the project continues Andini's run of internationally showcased work and marks another collaboration between the director and her established production team.
Toronto's Centrepiece section has become a key launchpad for art-house titles seeking global distribution, and the selection gives «Four Seasons in Java» a prominent North American platform before it travels to other markets. Goodfellas, which handles a slate of high-profile international films, will now oversee sales to distributors across territories.
Andini has built a reputation for films that blend intimate human stories with broader social and cultural observation. Her previous features have circulated through major festivals and attracted critical attention, positioning her as a leading figure in contemporary Indonesian cinema. The new film's title suggests a structure or thematic arc tied to the island of Java, though specific plot details beyond Pertiwi's return to her village remain limited in the available material.
The casting of Putri Marino in the lead role adds commercial and critical weight to the project. Marino is among Indonesia's most recognizable screen actors, with a following that extends beyond domestic audiences. Her involvement, combined with Andini's festival pedigree, gives the film a strong foundation for international sales.
Forka Films has been a consistent production partner for Andini, and the company's involvement signals continuity in the Indonesian independent film sector's efforts to reach global audiences. The film joins a growing wave of Southeast Asian titles that have secured European sales representation in recent years.
The Toronto International Film Festival remains one of the most important venues for launching awards-season and art-house titles, and a Centrepiece slot often generates significant buyer interest. Goodfellas will use the premiere as a focal point for its sales push, with the film expected to draw attention from distributors in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Further details about the film's supporting cast, production timeline, and release plans have not been disclosed. The world premiere at Toronto will provide the first full public look at the project and set the stage for its wider rollout.
