Still from "Japanse propaganda tentoonstelling", Japanese military propaganda film shot in Java (c. 1944)
Two men stand before a painted naval battle: a visitor in a black peci cap and a gallery attendant in a light shirt and cap, both Indonesian. In the film they are shown talking, in a scene the archive's catalogue calls staged, about the strength of the American fleet, which the attendant says Japan will overcome.
