About Si Ronda in brief
Si Ronda is a 1930 silent film from the Dutch East Indies. Based on contemporary Betawi oral tradition, it follows the exploits of a bandit, skilled in silat, known as Si Ronda. In the lenong stories from which the film was derived, Ronda was often depicted as a Robin Hood type of figure. The production, now thought lost, was one of a series of martial arts films released between 1929 and 1931.
A second adaptation of the tale was made in 1978, starring Dicky Zulkarnaen in the title role and Lenny Marlina as his lover. The film is likely lost. All Indonesian films from before 1950 are lost. However, JB Kristanto’s Katalog Film Indonesia records several as having survived at Sinematek Indonesia’s archives.
