Biography

Djarot was born in Rangkasbitung, Banten on 22 July 1950.[1] He attended elementary and junior high school in Yogyakarta, where he became active with the student organization Gerakan Siswa Nasional Indonesia. He then attended senior high school in Belitung, South Sumatra. In 1969, he went to Cologne, West Germany where to study Industrial Engineering at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences.[2]

In 1975, Djarot returned to Indonesia and formed the music group Barong. The following year, the American Embassy offered Djarot a chance to study at the London International Film School.[2]

Djarot later became a soundtrack composer, working on films such as Kawin Lari (Template:Lang-en, 1976), Badai Pasti Berlalu (Template:Lang-en, 1977), Usia 18 (Template:Lang-en, 1981), Ponirah Terpidana (Template:Lang-en, 1984), and Secangkir Kopi Pahit (Template:Lang-en, 1986). Of these, his most popular was Badai Pasti Berlalu, which was released to critical acclaim,[1] earning Djarot an award at the Indonesian Film Festival for Best Original Score; the soundtrack album of the same name, made under Djarot's direction,[3] was eventually selected by Rolling Stone Indonesia as the best Indonesian album of all time.[4]

Together with Chrisye and Jockie Soerjoprajogo, Eros produced a trilogy of albums, Resesi (Template:Lang-en, 1983),[5] Metropolitan (1984), and Nona (Template:Lang-en, 1984).[6] Of these, Resesi was received best, selling 350,000 copies and being certified silver.[7]

In 1988, Djarot made his directorial debut with Tjoet Nja' Dhien, which received 9 Citra Awards, including Best Director, and was Indonesia's submission to the 62nd Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.[2][8]

Djarot first entered politics with the Indonesian Democratic Party. However, after a disagreement with then-party leader Soerjadi, Djarot joined the Indonesian Democratic Party – Struggle (PDI-P).[1] Due to disagreements with party leader Megawati Sukarnoputri, Djarot left the PDI-P and in 2002 formed his own party, the Bung Karno National Party based on Sukarnoism.[2] The party later changed its name to the Freedom Bull National Party.[1]

In 2008, Djarot's film Lastri, a love story about a Communist Gerwani member, was prevented from filming in Surakarta, Central Java due to the Surakarta police not granting permission; previously Djarot had received permission from the Indonesian National Police headquarters in Jakarta. Reports cited fears that Lastri would "spread communism". The Jakarta Post called the ban "a violation of the constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech".[9]
