Blood and Prayer Film Camera

This camera with the brand Eclair Cameflex weighing 12 kg was used in the filming of “Blood and Prayer”, which was the first national film. This film is a legendary Indonesian film. Because this is the first film to be fully produced by an Indonesian. Usmar's film became a major milestone in the emergence of Indonesian films and was then followed by other national films. March 30, 1950, was an important moment for this nation's film industry. On that day, the first shooting for this first national film began. That's why the date was later used as a commemoration of National Film Day.
