Abstract
This article explores factors influencing the intertextuality of Indonesian Films between 1980s-2010s through reviewing the contents and key issues in three famous films, namely Ayat-Ayat Cinta, Perempuan Berkalung Sorban, and Ketika Cinta Bertasbih. In this research project, the focuses are placed on political contexts and policies implemented in each period and identify their connections to Islamic films that had been formed in Indonesia. The study emphazises the film as an agency in reflecting the history of the growth and supremacy of Islam in Indonesia.
The research results show the conditions of Islamic film formation that had been popular in the Period of Reformation (Reformasi) after the fall of the New Order (Orde Baru). Factors influencing the intertextuality of Indonesian Films between 1980s-2010s include the changing policies in the political periods, as represented in the films. Other factors are related to culture, social value, economy, and Islamization. Despite having the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesian national history has not always prioritized the Islamic values from the very beginning. Islamic values in Indonesia are distinctive because the nation was not founded as an Islam state, and being an Indonesian does not necessarily mean being a Muslim.In light of that condition, the religion is employed as a tool to influence the people. As the study has found, Islamic films have been incorporated with Islamic ideas and concepts to illustrate the parallel development of the Indonesian state and Islam as practiced in Indonesia.
