Mid-April, on the occasion of Indonesia's national holiday and the birthday of their national heroine Kartini, TKU’s common course “The Indonesian language and culture II” invited Mr. Robert Ronny, the producer of the Indonesian epic film Kartini, which was nominated for 14 major awards, to host the screening of the film and the post-screening discussion.

Mr. Ronny, a graduate of the New York Film Academy, is not only a well-known director and producer in the Indonesian film industry, but also a Taiwanese son-in-law (his wife is a Taiwanese) and a Taiwanese new immigrant of Indonesian descent.

In addition to the original English subtitles, the film was subtitled in Chinese by the course instructor, Prof. Yung Keng Kim. During the post-screening discussion, the students asked questions in Chinese and English, and Robert Ronny answered in English and Indonesian, which was then translated by the Prof. Kim.

The post-screening panel was filled with questions from the students, and even after the panel ended, students continued to come forward to discuss the film with the producer in both languages. It was a very successful bilingual/trilingual panel discussion.
