Abstract

The pesantren tradition contains values that become a guide for life and become a source for the actions of santri and kiai. The values in the pesantren tradition in the form of akhlak (morals), ibadah (worship) and barokah (blessings) become an anchor for kiai and santri in responding to films that are considered products of modernity emerging from the west. In the past the act of watching and making films was rejected and considered contrary to the pesantren tradition, but slowly now films are used by pesantren to preserve the tradition itself. This article explores how values in the pesantren tradition are used by kiai and santri of Tebuireng pesantren, Jombang, East Java, as their motivation in practicing filmmaking as well as manifesting these values into the films they make. This article also shows that the efforts of kiai and santri to negotiate the values of pesantren tradition with modernity (film), arise not only because of the increasingly strong current of modernity (digital technology-film, and the internet) outside the pesantren, but also because they respond to other values of Islamic teachings contained in the stories of religious films produced by Muslim groups outside the pesantren.

Bahasa Abstract

Di dalam tradisi pesantren terkandung nilai-nilai yang menjadi pegangan hidup dan menjadi sumber bagi tindakan para santri dan kiai. Nilai-nilai dalam tradisi pesantren berupa akhlak, ibadah dan barokah menjadi jangkar bagi para kiai dan santri dalam merespon film yang dianggap produk modernitas yang datang dari barat. Jika pada masa lalu tindakan menonton serta membuat film ditolak dan dianggap bertentangan dengan tradisi pesantren tetapi perlahan kini film digunakan oleh pesantren untuk melestarikan tradisi itu sendiri. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana nilai-nilai dalam tradisi pesantren digunakan oleh kiai dan para santri pesantren Tebuireng, Jombang, Jawa Timur, sebagai motivasi mereka dalam mempraktikan pembuatan film sekaligus memanifestasikan nilai-nilai itu ke dalam film-film yang mereka buat. Artikel ini juga menunjukan bahwa upaya kiai dan para santri menegosiasikan nilai-nilai tradisi pesantren dengan modernitas (film), timbul tidak hanya karena arus modernitas (teknologi digital-film, internet) yang semakin deras di luar pesantren, melainkan juga sebab mereka merespon nilai-nilai lain dari ajaran Islam yang ada pada cerita film-film religi yang dibuat oleh kelompok muslim di luar pesantren.
