In the Recording the Future project, we intermittently film daily life at eight locations in Indonesia. This project, carried out in collaboration with Indonesian colleagues, is still ongoing at KITLV (https://www.kitlv.nl/recording-the-future/). I made several clips for an exhibition at the (then called) Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, which can still be found on YouTube. We also made a film that can still be found on Culture Unplugged.
