Since 1946 the Government of Indonesia put the Film Censorship Board is in the Department of National Defence and responsible to the Minister of Information. What is implied than explicit in this decision? The importance of cinema in the struggle that is able to enlighten and inflame the spirit of the people who are struggling.

History of cinema began to crawl again in 1950. Independent spirit began to infiltrate in the creation stories, including the independent creativity. There are surprises in the world of Indonesian cinema in the film Between Earth and Sky - produced by Stichting Entertainment Mataram and PFN, directed by Dr. precariously genuinely named Hinatsu Eitaro, which was once the head of Java Engeki Kyokai-a play that famous at that time. The scenario is handled by the famous author Armijn Pane so that vibration literary feel. But the furor occurred because for the first time in the history of Indonesian film for daring to show the kissing scene between the star Bono's famous smooch with Grace. Protespun wave formations.
The 54-year period 'Between Earth and Sky', a wave of protest was repeated again in 2004 with game film Kiss I, the production of Multivision Plus leader Ram Punjabi with 'courage' kiss between Masayu Anatasia with Henky Y Kurniawan. I was so excited, the famous preacher Aa.

Encouraging in 1950 there were 24 national film production. It shows the spirit of building a movie, incredible. At that time the Government of the Republic of Indonesia put the Film Censorship Board in the Ministry of Education, Teaching and Culture (KDP). This shows that the 'emphasis' development of the film on the culture and education. Film is a medium that is considered capable of affecting the nation's culture, both positive and negative sides. The film is also a means of education for the children of the nation. At that time the arch-rivals Indonesia film is a film from India, Malaysia and the Philippines who master-class cinemas 'bottom' where people could watch, while the middle and upper-class cinema films dominated the American, European, and Chinese! Rival imported films makes the development of Indonesian films gasping for air. To overcome that residents will love the film production in the country held the Indonesian Film Festival, but not yet in a form such as FFI today. Nevertheless Film Festival to be an effort to increase the appreciation of film by the nation itself, so that might be able to compete. At least the film by our own people liked the people themselves.
Film imports came crashing like a flood, particularly from America. Formed the Association of Motion Picture of America in Indonesia (AMPAI). Foreign films were loved, like a king in the realm of Indonesian cinema, and even determine the taste. Film Indonesia are still weak even more difficult to develop. Fortunately there was a figure Usmar Ismail, who succeeded in making the film Blood and Prayer or the Long March which tells the journey as a long march the warriors of the West Java Yogyakarta. Shooting first performed in Purwakarta, on March 30, 1950. Historic date was later ordained into the National Film Day. . In that year there are 23 films being produced. It should be noted that the film Blood and Prayer've had cuts by the Film Censorship Board, but still outstanding menunai after protests from various areas, among others, from the Armed Forces as it is associated with the DI / TII in West Java.
Exciting period came when in 1951, where production of the film reaches the peak of development. In addition to the Golden Arrow, there Persari, Star Soerabaya, PFN, Stars, Thung Nam Film, Perfini and others .. 64 films produced that year. New stars emerge and the public loved.

In 1955 exactly 30 March to 5 April before the first election - held the Indonesian Film Festival for the first time. Chairman of the FFI is Djamaluddin Malik and his deputy RM Sutarto. This is a good combination because the combination ynng Djamaluddin Malik as dedengkot film and RM Sutarto as a bureaucrat who understands the movie. Honorary Chairman of the Jury was Professor and Chairman Johan Bahder Sitor Situmorang Jury selected - a humanist. This is a milestone and a record of its own, since the Government began to pay serious attention to the development of world cinema that have good impact on the socio-cultural or economic. Unfortunately, FFI and then held again after 5 years ie in 1960, with trophy trophy called FFI.
