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 between 1934 and 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] The company, under Franken's management but government-owned,[6] was continued as ANIF, Algemeen Nederlandsch-Indisch Filmsyndicaat ("Dutch Indies Film Syndicate"), which produced Terang Boelan in 1937[7] and whose premises were taken over by the Japanese occupying forces in 1942.
