Ismail is credited with sowing the seeds for the growth of theater and film in Indonesia. His own film studio, Perfini, produced several beloved Indonesian classics such as Pedjuang and Enam Djam di Djogdja . Today’s Doodle features imagery from one of his most famous works, Tiga Dara , which tells the humorous story of the entangled lives and loves of three sisters. Ismail was also a leading patron of the arts and a key force behind the creation of the National Academy of Theater in Indonesia. The Usmar Ismail Concert Hall in Jakarta hosts several concerts and theater performances each year, thus celebrating the legacy of this cultural icon and his influence on the performing arts community of Indonesia. Selamat ulang tahun, Usmar Ismail! Location: Tags:
