Genangan Air Mata was produced by Fred Young for Bintang Surabaja.[1] The black-and-white film was shot and directed by The Teng Chun and co-director Roostijati, a film actress who had starred in such films as Kenangan Masa (1951) and Gadis Olahraga (1951), in her directorial debut.[1] This film starred Roostijati and Djoni Sundawa, in a leading role.[1] It also featured Mardiana, Mien Sondakh, Chaidir Sakti, Iskandar, Mansur, Ribut Rawit, M. Jusuf, Kuntjung, Boes Boestami, Ardi HS, and Nanny Lydia in her first film debut.[1]
Genangan Air Mata was released in 1955.[1] As of Roostijati's death in 1975, this film is still banned by the censorship board.[2] A 35 mm copy of the film is reportedly stored at Sinematek Indonesia in Jakarta in 1986.[3]
Only five women directors other than Roostijati are recorded between 1950 and 1998: Ratna Asmara, Chitra Dewi, Sofia W.D., Rima Melati, and Ida Farida.[4] These directors rarely, if ever, received the same recognition as their male counterparts; acting remained the only way for a woman in the industry to gain recognition.[5]
