Cinema Kethoprak 1831 "Hadeging Praja Bantul" is the work of the FKKB in collaboration with the Bantul Culture Office (Kundha Kaculturen) which is funded with Dana Keistimewaan. A monumental work by more than 200 kethoprak artists throughout Bantul with support from students of ISI Yogyakarta, Jogja Film Academy, UNU, and UAD directed by three directors with film backgrounds (Antonius J Haryono), Kethoprak (Bayu Nur Seto) and Cinema Kethoprak ( Anggung Kidung Pinurbo). This makes the kethoprak cinema work a new color in audio-visual art.
This Kethoprak cinema tells the story of the founding of the City of Bantul in 1831 with the figure of the First Regent, KRT. Mangunegoro. The story of the struggle and sacrifice in the fight against colonialism colored this kethoprak cinema. This work is a historical milestone as the first kethoprak cinematic work with a long duration (90 minutes). It has screened for the first time at the CGV Cinemas Transmart Yogyakarta on 18 December 2021 ago.
