About Air Mata Iboe in brief
Air Mata Iboe is a 1941 film from the Dutch East Indies directed and written by Njoo Cheong Seng. Starring Fifi Young, Rd Ismail, Ali Sarosa, and Ali Joego, it followed a mother who raises her children lovingly but is ultimately betrayed by her eldest sons when she falls upon hard times. The black-and-white film featured eleven keroncong songs written by music director R. Koesbini, who also had a role in the film. It was the last production completed by Fred Young’s Majestic Film Company, shortly before the Japanese occupation. A remake was produced under the same title in 1957; Young retook her role.
This film, now possibly lost, received positive reviews and is now considered to be one of the best-known Dutch films of the 20th century. The film was distributed by Columbia Pictures for all ages, and premiered at Samperan Eener Moedera Theatre on 24 December 1941. During the occupation, Fred Young and his wife Fifi established their own theatrical company, which closed following the Japanese invasion. The company went on to produce several other films, including Boedi Terbenam and Bachtera Karam.
