“Baru dua minggu lalu filmnya kita kirim ke Jerman. Saya saja belum liat trailer Generasi Biru untuk di Indonesia,“ ujarnya seraya tertawa.

Tidak hanya Generasi Biru, Laskar Pelangi pun unjuk gigi di festival film saingan Cannes ini. “Sekarang sudah ada generasi baru seperti Riri Riza, Mira Lesmana, John de Rantau. Tahun ini saya ingin anak-anak muda ini yang lebih tampil,” kata Garin.

Ini adalah film ke lima Garin di Belinale. Sebelumnya sudah ada Surat Untuk Bidadari (1994), Bulan Tertusuk Ilalang (1995), Puisi Tak Terkuburkan (2001) dan Aku Ingin Menciummu Sekali Saja (2001). Semua film Garin mendapatkan penghargaan khusus.
