Java Pacific Film
Java Pacific Film was a short-lived film production company that helped make significant contributions to Indonesian cinema in the 1930s. Founded in 1934 in Bandung,[1] in what was then the Dutch East Indies, by Dutch-Indonesian journalist Albert Balink and Dutch filmmaker Mannus Franken, the company produced the movie Pareh in 1936. A commercial flop which bankrupted the producers,[2] Pareh is credited with shifting the focus of Indonesian cinema from Chinese productions and subject matter to a more local industry. The film is also praised for its cinematic quality[3] and its audio.[4][5]
