The method used is a descriptive qualitative method with the aim of describing in depth the moral message and cultural values contained in the short film "Istiqlal". The results showed that there were five scenes that contained moral messages and cultural values in the istiqlal short film. The message contained is very closely related to Betawi culture. There are many moral messages that can be taken as lessons in daily life.
