Achnas is often regarded as the first woman filmmaker from Indonesia to have a feminist perspective, while many of her films concentrate on the problems of women in Indonesian society.

Achnas' films tend to challenge the New Order's gender regime that is prevalent in Indonesia.

Her father was a feminist who she often credits for the distinct feminist ideology in her films.

2013

When asked about facing discrimination as a woman filmmaker, Achnas says: "'Everybody is asking, 'Do you have a problem being a woman filmmaker?' And I say: 'No, should I?' Apparently, there is this brand of feminism saying, 'Do you know why you do not have a problem? Because you are still ... because the system is still not at the stage where men dominate. But when men dominate an industry then you will have problems.' Then I say, 'So far as you know, we are talking about a vacuum of 10 years, where nobody made films and now most of the decision-makers are women.' So there has been no discrimination, nothing.' (2013)"When speaking about the difficulties in filmmaking, Achnas claims: “You just have to have staying power and obsession, almost a fixation.” She also has spoken about government funding and the lack thereof in Indonesia.

Achnas says: "“In countries like South Korea, like Iran, there’s always some money from the government to make films that are not really for the mainstream market. That is not available here (Indonesia). I make films not purely for the mainstream market (so) I get my funding outside.”"When speaking about making films in Indonesia, she claims “Indonesia is different because we don’t have an Indonesian diaspora, compared with the Indian or the Chinese.”

In terms of the filmmaking world, Achnas is not surprised by the recycling process that is constantly seen in films.

She states that, “It was the romantic teenage drama and then the horror genre came and now it's the comedies, and I predict it's probably the erotic films next because history repeats it- self.”

Achnas' admits being against anti-pornography law.

2020

In 2020, she obtained her PhD degree at Nanyang Technological University Singapore with a doctoral thesis on “Experimenting with the essay form and wayang in contemporary Indonesian filmmaking : when shadows are grey”.

Apart from directing films, Achnas' teaches film at the Jakarta Institute of the Arts considered as the main film school in Indonesia.
