The 12th Jakarta International Film Festival took place from 25 November to 5 December 2010. It opened with documentary film Waiting for "Superman" by Davis Guggenheim and closed with Alejandro González Iñárritu's psychological drama Biutiful. In October 2010, it was reported that the festival was at risk of being cancelled due to a lack of funding. In response, the festival organizers launched a public fundraising campaign to secure the event's continuation. The initiative proved successful when Finnish telecommunications corporation Nokia agreed to become one of the sponsors. A total of 91 films from 33 countries were screened during the festival.
