I Muslima is the first documentary by 24-year-old social studies student Stefan Franz from Tilburg. His girlfriend Anita Paoniasari, raised in a strict Islamic community in the Indonesian city of Bandung does not recognise the image of Islam painted by politician Geert Wilders in his film Fitna. She has been living in the Netherlands for seven years, and says she has become Westernised, but is angered and saddened by the violent Islam portrayed by the Dutch MP, despite the critical questions she is asking herself about her religion.

For Stefan Franz, this was sufficient reason to travel to Indonesia with his girlfriend and record the reactions of people there on video. Anita Paoniasari talked to people in the street and to old friends. Conversations with imams also invariably turned to Geert Wilders, Fitna and Islam. At the time, fanatical believers were holding a demonstration against the film in the capital Jakarta.
 
Stefan Franz distilled more than 60 hours' worth of recordings into a 70-minute documentary in which we follow his girlfriend during her conversations with fellow believers, but also share in her uncertainties. The documentary's first screening will take place at the Mundial Film Festival in Tilburg on 23 April 2009.
 
Update - Geert Wilders has announced a sequel to his controversial anti-Qur'an film Fitna.
The new film will deal with what he perceives as the negative consequences of
the rising tide of Islam in Western countries. The film is scheduled to be released in 2010.
