\n\tMystery horror feature \u201cBisikan Desa Gringsing: Whispers of Fatimah<\/a>\u201d has released its first-look video and locked in a September Indonesian theatrical opening, producers Mandela Pictures and Oceanus Media Global (OMG Studios) have revealed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe story centers on Hesti, a young woman hunting for her missing father who finds herself drawn into the terror surrounding Fatimah\u2019s restless spirit, a presence said to have haunted the isolated village of Desa Gringsing for generations.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe clip introduces Hesti \u2013 played by Aghniny Haque \u2013 as she comes face to face for the first time with the spectral Fatimah, portrayed by Fatmah Nadhi. <\/p>\n

\n\tDirected and written by Ivander Tedjasukmana, the film is a three-territory co-production involving Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. It is one of the first Indonesian horror features shot using virtual production technology, and to employ a LED volumetric stage. Rather than location shoots or conventional green screens, the production used high-resolution LED walls displaying photorealistic digital environments in real time to recreate the mist-heavy pathways and supernatural atmosphere of the cursed village of Desa Gringsing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to be entrusted with a project utilizing virtual production technology,\u201d Tedjasukmana said. \u201cWorking on \u2018Bisikan Desa Gringsing\u2019 presented new challenges \u2013 not only for me, but also for the cast and nearly every department involved. Fortunately, Mandela Pictures and OMG Studios is an exceptional team whose expertise allowed us to overcome every obstacle. I hope audiences will experience the results of that effort when they see the film in theaters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPlaying Hesti was my first experience working on a virtual production,\u201d Haque added. \u201cOn one hand, it was exciting because multiple locations could be created within a single stage. But it also demanded a completely different acting approach. It challenged me to develop new techniques, and ultimately became an opportunity to explore a different dimension of my craft.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ensemble cast includes Surya Saputra, Kiki Narendra, Iskak Khivano, Hesti Putri, Nina Tamam, Iyang Darmawan, Akun Gege and Mian Tiara. With post-production now in its closing phase,\u00a0\u201cBisikan Desa Gringsing\u201d will open in Indonesian cinemas on Sept. 24, followed by releases in Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey and Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n

\n\tProducers are Manoj K. Samtani, Deepak M. Samtani, Lachman G. Samtani, Nick GC Tan, Chan Pui Yin and Yogi Arifiandy. The production was supported by Singapore\u2019s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), Studios Film Office (SFO)\u00a0and Indonesia\u2019s Ministry of Culture. OMG Studios\u2019 virtual production stage is housed at Iskandar Malaysia Studios (IMS) in Johor, Malaysia, a Khazanah Nasional-backed facility.<\/p>\n
