DENPASAR, Bali, 11 March 2019: Popping by the second annual Bali International Film Festival this May will give visitors a story to tell about their stay in Bali that will be different.
Attracting filmmakers from around the world, the 2nd Bali International Indigenous Film Festival will open at the Njana Tilem Museum, Mas, Ubud, Friday 10 May.
