Ami Priyono
After returning to Indonesia Ami began teaching at the National Theatre Academy in Jakarta. In 1968 he joined the domestic film industry, taking the role of artistic director in Djampang Mentjari Naga Hitam. He made his acting debut two years later in Tuan Tanah Kedawung as a supporting actor. In 1973 he married feminist writer Julia Suryakusuma.In 1977 Ami released Jakarta Jakarta. Focusing on the miserable daily lives of the capital's inhabitants, the film won five Citra Awards at the 1978 Indonesian Film Festival in Ujungpandang, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. In 2009 Ben Murtaugh of SOAS, University of London, described the film as "a fascinating portrayal of [Jakarta] during the 1970s".
Ami's Roro Mendut, released in 1982, gave him his greatest international recognition. The film, which was based on an Indonesian legend and written by Y. B. Mangunwijaya, garnered him another Best Director nomination at the 1983 Indonesian Film Festival; he lost to Teguh Karya, director of Di Balik Kelambu. Ami received another nomination the following year for Yang, but lost to Sjumandjaja of Budak Nafsu. He directed his final film, Jodoh Boleh Diatur, in 1988.
With the number of domestic film productions decreasing in the early 1990s, Ami left the cinema and began acting on television. He acted in several series beginning in 1994, including Salah Asuhan and Pedang Keadilan (Sword of Justice; 1996). During this period he served on the juries of several film festivals, including the Indonesian Serial Festival (Festival Sinetron Indonesia, 1994 and 1996), the Asia Pacific Film Festival (1995), and the Fukuoka International Film Festival (1996). He died on 7 June 2001, after several years of ill health.
