The Indonesian Cinematheque, known locally as Sinematek Indonesia, with about 2,000 film titles and more than 3,000 film reels and videos in its archive, is one of the few places researchers, students, film festivals and television stations can turn to if they need to watch or borrow old Indonesian films. Located in the Haji Usmar Ismail Film Center (PPHUI), the film archive has been around since Oct. 20, 1975. Usmar Ismail was one of the more prominent directors here in the 1950s.

Thank you Indonesia for providing film researchers with valuable film history. May I know how to communicate with Sinematek Indonesia via e-mail ? I would like to find out a few film titles for my research work.
