Berita Film di Djawa no. 18; Japanese propaganda film (1941-1945). This film deals successively with the take-off of Japanese planes, military training, diving, bullfighting, the installation of the resident of Yakarta Soetardjo and Bodjonegoro Alva Soerio, traffic in Yakarta, training of Indonesian youth and the reconstruction of the country.  Please note: This film is part of a collection of Japanese films used by the propaganda department of the Japanese military administration during the Pacific War, when the former Dutch East Indies (Indonesia now) were occupied by Japan from 1942-1945. Soon after the Japanese capitulation in August 1945 these films were confiscated by the returning Dutch authorities in Indonesia and shipped to the Netherlands. The films were released by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision after research in cooperation with NHK Enterprises (Japanese Public Broadcaster) in 2020. These videos might reflect erroneous, biased or politically extreme ideas." 00.00 Text: Berita Film di Djawa diboeat oleh Nippon Eigasha. Sekutu haroeh roentoeh. No. 18 00.16 The Great Air War.
