Devi Attamimi, Co-chairwoman of Citra Pariwara 2020 added that Citra Pariwara, despite that it’s being held each year, is not just an award ceremony for the works of Indonesian creative people, but also as a forum for creative young talents to develop abilities and be inspired through a series of seminars and masterclasses. “This year, there were at least 1,300 viewers participating in various series of seminars and masterclasses held by the organizer of Citra Pariwara 2020. This can be realized thanks for the support from various parties, especially brand sponsors, agencies and Production House,” continued Devi.
