However, the operation of online film repositories also raises several challenges and concerns. Issues related to copyright and intellectual property rights are paramount. The unauthorized distribution of films can lead to significant financial losses for producers and creators. Furthermore, there are concerns regarding the content available on some platforms, including issues of appropriateness and legality. | | Micro‑Licensing Platform | A blockchain‑based ledger

Gudang Film Bokeb (GFB) emerged in 2019 as a hybrid physical‑digital platform that aggregates, digitises, and distributes Indonesian film content—ranging from classic archivals to contemporary independent productions. This paper investigates GFB’s business model, its role within Indonesia’s evolving media ecosystem, and the strategic challenges it faces amid rapid technological change and shifting consumer habits. Using a mixed‑methods approach—combining secondary market data, semi‑structured interviews with GFB executives, filmmakers, and consumers, and a comparative case‑study analysis with regional peers (e.g., Malaysia’s FilemKita and Thailand’s ThaiFilmHub)—the study finds that GFB’s unique value proposition lies in its “warehouse‑plus‑streaming” model, which leverages physical film preservation, digitisation services, and a subscription‑based streaming portal. While the platform has captured 12 % of the niche archival‑film market within three years, its growth is constrained by limited broadband penetration in tier‑2 cities, licensing bottlenecks, and competition from global OTT giants. Recommendations focus on expanding edge‑computing CDN infrastructure, forging stronger public‑private partnerships for rights clearance, and diversifying revenue through educational licensing and NFT‑based memorabilia.
