Jakarta — Throughout 2025, the Indonesian Film Censorship Board (LSF RI) issued a total of 41,092 Film Censorship Certificates (Surat Tanda Lulus Sensor/STLS). This was announced during the 2025 Performance Report Press Conference themed “Censorship Transformation to Advance National Cinema,” held in Jakarta on Wednesday (28 January 2026).

A total of 545 feature film titles were censored, consisting of 270 domestic films and 275 imported films. Based on age classification distribution, the Teen category (13+) ranked highest at 46.96 percent, followed by All Ages (SU) at 29.50 percent and Adults 17+ at 22.66 percent.

Although most materials passed censorship, LSF maintained strict oversight by assigning a “Not Approved” status to 12 film titles. “This serves as a form of protection against the potential negative impact of content that violates legal provisions and norms,” said LSF Chair Naswardi.

Domestic film and advertising production demonstrated strong resilience, contributing 23,462 titles (63.57 percent), surpassing imported materials at 13,452 titles (36.43 percent). Compliance with censorship criteria among content owners was very high, with 99.77 percent of materials approved without revision.

In 2025, the LSF Awards were held as a form of recognition for works that comply with censorship standards. During its live broadcast on Indosiar, the program recorded a television rating of 4.2 and a share of 19.3.

In initiating and advancing the National Movement for Self-Censorship Culture (GNBSM), LSF conducted direct engagement through focus group discussions under the programs LSF Goes to School and LSF Goes to Campus, reaching 12,949 participants, exceeding the initial target of 11,050 participants.

In 2025, LSF also introduced a digital public service announcement displayed in 378 commuter train (KRL Commuter Line) carriages, reaching approximately 1.05 million people daily.

LSF also modernized its publication and information access as part of transparency and public accountability by redesigning its official website (https://lsf.go.id/) with a more modern and disability-friendly format. This included updating the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) services, contributing to LSF receiving, for the first time, the Public Information Disclosure Award (KIP) in the “Informative” category with a score of 91.43 based on the 2025 monitoring and evaluation.

Overall, LSF assesses that progress in the film industry reflects the impact of innovation and transformation in censorship. “Across regulatory, programmatic, activity, and service aspects, as reflected in the 2025 performance indicators,” concluded Naswardi. (Nuz)
