Biography

Novianto made his feature film debut in 2009 with Jagad X Code, for which he also wrote the story. [1] Jagad X Code was set in a village alongside Code Stream in Yogyakarta, which had received support from Y. B. Mangunwijaya but was forced to be self-sufficient after Mangunwijaya's death. It followed three youths from the village who, unable to buy the things they want owing to omnipresent poverty, agree to find a flash drive for a local thug. [2] [3]

In 2011 Novianto's television film Papi, Mami, dan Tukang Kebun (Father, Mother, and the Gardener) won twelve prizes at the FTV Awards in Jakarta, including Best Director. [4]

Novianto's second feature film, Tanah Surga... Katanya , was released in 2012. [1] He won the Citra Award for Best Director for the film, being selected over more established directors such as Hanung Bramantyo and Teddy Soeriaatmadja; the film itself was selected as Best Film. [5] [6] Novianto described it as a surprise, but suggested he was burdened by the prize because he would be pressured to produce better work the following year. [7]

At another ceremony in Jakarta, Novianto received a Vidia Award for Best Director for Pahala Terindah (The Most Beautiful Reward), one of eight awards received by the television film. It followed a polygamous marriage in the Dieng Plateau of Central Java and starred Slamet Rahardjo and Ratna Riantiarno. [8]
