Unisma is one of 24 campuses in Indonesia that are partnered with the Indonesian Film Censorship Institute. The task is to evaluate the feasibility of a film that will be screened in Indonesia.

“The Film Censorship Institute cooperates with Unisma, because they see that Unisma understands the paradigm of Indonesian culture and civilization with scientific studies,” said Unisma rector, Prof. Dr. H Maskuri Msi, after signing the MoU.
