The 12th Jakarta International Film Festival took place from 25 November to 5 December 2010. It opened with documentary film Waiting for "Superman" by Davis Guggenheim and closed with Alejandro González Iñárritu's psychological drama Biutiful.[1] In October 2010, it was reported that the festival was at risk of being cancelled due to a lack of funding.[2] In response, the festival organizers launched a public fundraising campaign to secure the event's continuation. The initiative proved successful when Finnish telecommunications corporation Nokia agreed to become one of the sponsors.[3] A total of 91 films from 33 countries were screened during the festival.[4]
