Abstract:

 

This paper deals with how AMIKOM University through MSV Pictures has been the center for animators since the movie "Battle of Surabaya (November 10th)" as the first 2D Indonesian animated movie was launched. The animated movie fans who rushed to visit the campus to find out how to produce and watch the movie constituted as a new tourism form. The fans of Battle of Surabaya came from all over the world. The Battle of Surabaya achieved several international awards, namely: Best Animation (Milan International Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema, 2017); Best Animation (Berlin International Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema. 2017); Best Animation (Nice International Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema. 2017); Gold Remi Award (The Houston International Film Festival. 2016); Grand Prize (Seoul International Cartoon and Animation Festival 2016); and Best Animation (Noida International Film Festival. 2016). Battle of Surabaya entered the United States, UK and China markets. The film could create a positive impact on animation tourism that gained momentum as it did in Japan. As a result, the campus received the interest of both domestic and foreign tourists to come to the campus. AMIKOM University, together with MSV Pictures, Sleman Government and Sleman Creative Community succeeded in making Sleman selected as the City of Animation, Film and Video by Creative Economy Agency.
