"The devil made him bite his own tongue." Screen has debuted a festival promo trailer for the Indonesian indie drama title The Science of Fictions, also known as Hiruk-pikuk si al-kisah originally. This film is premiering at the Locarno Film Festival coming up this month, and this trailer is hoping to build up some interest so it can find distributors around the world. The Science of Fictions seems to be a fable about "fake news", referencing the Moon landing which occurred 50 years ago. The film tells the story of a mute man who witnesses a fake moon landing, and tries to convince people in his village what he saw by dancing and wearing space outfits. But he's "forced into silence, the truth weighs heavier on his shoulders each day" for years, while everyone else thinks he's crazy. Starring Gunawan Maryanto, Yudi Ahmad Tajudin, Ecky Lamoh, Alex Suhendra, Abigail Asmara, and Marissa Anita.
