Georg Eduard Albert Krugers (Banda Neira, 4 November 1890 – The Hague, 10 August 1964; also written as G.
Kruger) was a cameraman and film director active in the Dutch East Indies (modern Indonesia) during the early 20th century.
He is recorded as having worked in film since the mid-1920s, and in 1927 he made his directorial debut, Eulis Atjih.
He joined hajj pilgrims in 1928 and screened the resulting documentary in the Netherlands.
His 1930 film Karnadi Anemer Bangkong is thought to be the first talkie in the cinema of the Indies, but was a commercial failure as the majority Sundanese audience considered it insulting.
After making two works for Tan's Film in the early 1930s, Krugers moved to Hong Kong and then the Netherlands.
