The film festival also declared "Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film" the winner of the “Best Picture” category.

Donne Maulana won the best theme song with “Bercinta lewat Kata” (‘Loving through Words’).

Producer Ernest Prakasa admitted that he did not expect for the movie to win that many awards, especially due to its black-and-white visuals.

“If a black-and-white movie can win 7 Citra awards, then I don’t know what would happen [if I produce] a color one,” Ernest told reporters that evening.

“Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film” follows Bagus, a screenwriter, who reunites with Hana, his high school friend and crush who is still grieving from the loss of her husband. Bagus wants to convince Hana to fall in love once again, just like in the movies.
