Inoe Perbatasari

Raden Inoe Perbatasari (1899 – 18 October 1954) was an Indonesian politician turned film director and actor.

Perbatasari, c. 1954

Perbatasari, who had a background in journalism and had previously led the dailies Oetoesan Indonesia and Bintang Timoer,[1] was politically active in the late 1920s as a member of the Indonesian National Party (Partai Nasional Indonesia), a native political party in the Dutch East Indies.[2] By the 1930s, he was active in the Bolero touring troupe, under Andjar Asmara. When Andjar went to Java Industrial Film to become a director for The Teng Chun, Perbatasari was one of several Bolero members to join. They appeared in their first production, Kartinah, in 1940. The film, which followed the love between a nurse and her superior,[1] featured Perbatasari as Ratna Asmara's character's uncle.[3]

The following year saw Perbatasari active in three films. Aside from a minor role in Ratna Moetoe Manikam,[4] he made his directorial debut with Elang Darat, which was published by JIF's subsidiary Jacatra Pictures.[1] Elang Darat was a detective story which followed an inspector named Parlan in his investigation of a bandit known only as "Elang Darat".[5] Perbatasari's second film, Poetri Rimba (Jungle Princess), followed a hunter as he attempted to escape from bandits.[6]

After the Empire of Japan occupied the Indies beginning in 1942, Perbatasari collaborated with the Japanese forces in making the propaganda film Hoedjan for the studio Nippon Eigasha.[4][7] He also worked at the Japanese-led Cultural Centre in Jakarta.[8]

Perbatasari is recorded as working on three films after Indonesia was formally recognised in 1949.[4] The first, Djiwa Pemuda, was released in 1951. The screenplay, Perbatasari's only contribution to the film, followed two former guerrillas from the National Revolution feuding over a woman's love.[9] This was followed by two directorial works: Sekuntum Bunga Ditepi Danau (A Bouquet of Flowers on the Lake Shore; 1952) and Kembali ke Masjarakat (Return to the People; 1954), both of which dealt with the revolution.[10][11]

Perbatasari died at Cikini Hospital in Jakarta on 18 October 1954. He did most of his post-revolution work with the National Film Company (Perusahaan Film Nasional), working in management.[12]
