Indonesia to Import Movies if U.S. Buys Textiles: Indonesia has promised to buy more Hollywood films so long as it can ship more textiles to the United States in return. “We will increase the number of Indonesian film and video importers, but in exchange we will export more textiles to the United States,” Trade Minister Arifin Siregar told reporters last week. The Motion Picture Exports Assn. of America, grouping most of the major Hollywood studios, has demanded that Indonesia open up its film industry, which is heavily restricted and effectively monopolized by one company.
