Andjar Asmara
Andjar Asmara (26 February 1902 – 20 October 1961) was a dramatist and filmmaker in the Dutch East Indies. He became a writer for the Padangsche Opera in Padang, where he developed a new, dialogue-centric style, which later spread throughout the region. Historians recognise him as a pioneer of theatre and one of the first native Indonesian film directors.
