Nippon Eigasha (Dutch East Indies)

Background
Following the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies in 1942, a local branch of the newsreel film company Nippon Eigasha (commonly known as "Nichiei") was established in 1943. Nichiei was not the first Japanese film company in the occupied Indies as an earlier film company, Djawa Eiga Kosha, was established before.

The Indies branch of Nichiei mainly produced propaganda films and newsreels, with Berdjoang (1943) being their only known feature film. After the Japanese surrender and following the Indonesian proclamation of independence in 1945, Nippon Eigasha's studio was taken by the newly-formed Indonesian government and became Berita Film Indonesia (BFI). This did not last long however, as the Dutch would take over BFI. Only after the official recognition of Indonesia did the Dutch gave BFI back to Indonesia, becoming Pusat Produksi Film Negara.
