PENERAPAN GAYA EKSPOSITORI DALAM FILM DOKUMENTER PENDEK “LUDRUK DI UJUNG TANDUK”

Abstract

The documentary film Ludruk di Ujung Tanduk explores the declining
presence and preservation efforts of Ludruk, a traditional theatrical art
from East Java, especially in Surabaya. Utilizing an expository style
combined with poetic nuances, the film attempts to deliver cultural values
and socio-political reflections through structured narration and authentic
interviews. Key figures such as Cak Kartolo and Bunda Nonik Arboyo
provide firsthand insight into Ludruk’s current reality. The documentary
serves as both cultural preservation and educational media, aiming to
raise awareness among modern viewers, particularly youth, about the
urgency of safeguarding intangible heritage amid globalization.
