Budaixi

Budaixi is a documentary that examines the presence of Wayang Potehi in Surabaya, Indonesia. While this traditional art form is a longstanding element of Indonesian cultural diversity, it remains largely unrecognized in the local region. The film follows dalang Sukar Mudjiono and other practitioners as they attempt to protect the craft from disappearing. Their efforts include organizing frequent performances and educating others to ensure the heritage is passed down to coming generations.

The film was directed by Dhafir Zahibana and written by Annisa Manha. It was produced by Muhammad Rafi through the production companies Pesawat Kertas and Sinemarolas. The cast features Sukar Mudjiono, Toni Harsono, Widodo Santoso, Herlambang, Kalis, and Mulyono, all appearing as themselves. Released on June 12, 2026, this Indonesian production has a runtime of 15 minutes.
