Abstract
Cinema, particularly documentary, can be a powerful vehicle for raising awareness of environmental sustainability. In the paper, the documentary film Pulau Plastik (Dandhy Laksono and Rahung Nasution 2021) is the subject of analysis. The film has its premiere at the end of April 2021 in the cinema theatre in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Denpasar and shows the plastic waste and its environmental damage. The documentary uses mise-en-scéne in its plot to evoke certain experience and emotion of the audience which we will examine its role and its psychological impact with the texts of the French philosopher Maurice Marleau-Ponty in the Philosophy of Embodiment, American experimental psychologist James Gibsons in Ecological Perception and American philosopher Sue Cataldi in Feelings, Depth and Flesh. The directors also use Cinéma Vérité Approach to strengthen the effect towards audience.
