O článku:
Films featuring ethnic and religious themes elicit strong reactions and criticism. Minangkabau con
tent films are no exception. Social life is not always reflected in the themes of religious and ethnic
films. The film, however, may also communicate specific messages. The present study examines two
Minangkabau films, namely Para Perintis Kemerdekaan (Pioneers of Independence) (1977) and Di
Bawah Lindungan Ka’bah (Under the Protection of the Kaaba) (2013). It is argued that both include
Minangkabau representations of Islam and traditional customs. To arrive at symbols, meanings,
and discourse structures, the two films draw on social semiotics and film semiotics within a criti
cal discourse framework. The internal strife between Islamic and traditional groups in the Minan
gkabau, therefore, features in both films. According to Minangkabau history, this discourse emerged
during the Padri War and the colonial period. A collective idea that prevails in Minangkabau social
life to this day is conflict discourse. Thus, using mainly visual imagery, filmmakers process and crea
te this collective conception in the dramatisation of film stories.
