Wayang Pacak or open air cinema, which was popular in the 60's and 70's, had been the source of entertainment, education and information among the rural folks in villages and interior areas.
During the era, Kementerian Penerangan or a chinese company would bring the film. The film was projected on the white linen cloth that was stretch across the field resembling the cinema screen. A cinema film projector was used and sometimes due to non ventilation, the film got burn by the hot lights of the projector.
The will be 2 cans of films and during the break, normally there will be a few minutes of explanation by the Kementerian spokesman or the chinese promoting their products.
As I remembered some films that I manage to see is Kung Fu film, Cowboys western, Indonesian horror fim and as well as P.Ramlee movies.
Today, they simply played on a DVD palyer and projected using a slide projector.
