- Wong Bersaudara adalah tiga sutradara yang bersaudara dan juru kamera kakak beradik yang beretnis Tionghoa yang aktif dalam dunia perfilman Hindia Belanda (kini Indonesia). Putra dari seorang pengkhotbah Advent, ketiganya – Nelson (1895–1945), Joshua (1906–1981), dan Othniel (1908–1986) – menempuh pendidikan di Amerika Serikat sebelum pindah ke Shanghai dan mendirikan The Great Wall Productions. Pada tahun 1927, Nelson tiba di Hindia Belanda dan bekerja bersama rombongan teater. Ketika pemilik teater menawarinya untuk membuat film yang dibintangi oleh para pemain teater, Nelson bersikeras agar keluarganya harus dibawa ke Hindia. Meskipun film ini awalnya tidak diketahui, Nelson bersaudara telah memproduksi sejumlah film layar lebar dengan studio berbeda di bawah nama Halimoen Film, yang diawali dengan film berjudul Lily van Java pada tahun 1929. Setelah absen selama dua tahun, ketika Nelson jatuh sakit, Joshua dan Othniel bekerjasama dengan Albert Balink dan Mannus Franken untuk memproduksi Pareh, film ini gagal di pasaran dan memailitkan produsernya (krisis keuangan). Wong bersaudara kembali bekerjasama dengan Balink dalam film Terang Boelan pada 1937, film laris yang telah memperkaya mereka bertiga. Setelah itu, ketiganya mulai bekerja pada Tan's Film, memproduksi film-film lainnya bersama perusahaan tersebut. Setelah pendudukan Jepang, Joshua dan Othniel beralih profesi menjadi pedagang, dan kembali ke dunia perfilman pada tahun 1948 bersama Tan bersaudara. Perusahaan baru mereka telah memproduksi 45 film, meskipun Wong bersaudara tidak terlibat dalam keseluruhan film. (in)
- Nelson (1895 – 1945), Joshua (1906 – 1981) e Othniel Wong (1908 – 1986) sono stati tre registi, sceneggiatori, direttori della fotografia, produttori ed operatori di ripresa cinesi etnici attivi nel cinema delle Indie orientali olandesi (ora Indonesia). Ricevettero buona parte della loro istruzione negli Stati Uniti prima di trasferirsi a Shanghai e fondare la The Great Wall Productions. Nel 1927 Nelson era giunto nelle Indie orientali olandesi e stava lavorando con la Miss Riboet's Orion, una compagnia teatrale appartenente a Tio Tek Djien, il quale gli suggerì di girare un film con la diva della troupe. Egli accettò a patto che anche gli altri due fratelli fossero portati nelle Indie. Sebbene poi questa produzione non fosse mai andata effettivamente in porto, i Wong realizzarono successivamente numerosi lungometraggi con diversi studi sotto lo stendardo Halimoen Film, a partire da (1929). Dopo una pausa di due anni, durante la quale Nelson si ammalò, Joshua e Othniel lavorarono con Albert Balink e Mannus Franken per realizzare Pareh - Il canto della risaia, un fallimento commerciale che mandò in bancarotta i suoi produttori. I Wong collaborarono di nuovo con Balink su Terang Boelan nel 1937, che al contrario fu un successo commerciale clamoroso, che li rese ricchi. In seguito iniziarono a lavorare con la Tan's Film, con la quale realizzarono altri cinque film. Dopo l'occupazione giapponese del 1942, Joshua e Otniel si reinventarono mercanti, tornando al cinema solo nel 1948 con i fratelli Tan. La loro nuova compagnia produsse 45 film. (it)
- The Wong brothers were three ethnic Chinese film directors and cameramen active in the cinema of the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). The sons of an Adventist preacher, the brothers – Nelson (1895–1945), Joshua (1906–1981), and Othniel (1908–1986) – received much of their education in the United States before going to Shanghai and establishing The Great Wall Productions. By 1927, Nelson had arrived in the Dutch East Indies and was working with Miss Riboet's Orion, a theatrical troupe. When its owner Tio Tek Djien suggested he make a film with the troupe's star, Nelson insisted that his family be brought to the Indies. Although this initial film was not realised, the brothers made numerous feature films with different studios under the banner Halimoen Film, starting with Lily van Java (1929). After a two-year hiatus, during which Nelson fell ill, Joshua and Othniel worked with Albert Balink and Mannus Franken to produce Pareh, a commercial failure which bankrupted its producers. The Wongs collaborated again with Balink on Terang Boelan in 1937, a commercial success which left the brothers rich. They began working with Tan's Film afterwards, making another five films with the company. After the Japanese occupation Joshua and Othniel became merchants, returning to film in 1948 with the Tan brothers. Their new company produced 45 films, although the Wongs were not involved in all of them. (en)
