In Indonesia, International Jazz Day (celebrated annually on April 30) has evolved into a nationwide movement. Since its UNESCO designation in 2011, Indonesia has become one of the most active participants in the world, with celebrations spanning from Sumatra to Papua.

The release of Star Wars (later subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope) on May 25, 1977, wasn't just a movie opening—it was a cultural earthquake that caught almost everyone, including 20th Century Fox and George Lucas himself, completely off guard.
