The film ‘Operasi Pesta Copet’, produced by Imajinari, premiered in Indonesian cinemas on August 27, 2026. Directed by Edy Khemod in his directorial debut, the story follows four young individuals—Ijal, Adut, Tia, and Melodi—who engage in pickpocketing at the Pestapora music festival to cope with economic pressures.

To ensure authenticity, the production team filmed during the 2025 Pestapora festival using approximately 500 extras and real festival lighting. The project, which took roughly three years to complete, was inspired by Khemod’s observations of pickpocketing syndicates at music concerts. The cast includes Iqbaal Ramadhan, Kristo Immanuel, Zulfa Maharani, and Kawai Labiba.
