Description de l'ouvrage :
The first anthology to focus primarily on the use of official and colonial documentary films in the South and South-East Asian regions
Based on rare archival documents and films, this anthology is the first to focus primarily on the use of official and colonial documentary films in the South and South-East Asian regions. Drawing together a range of international scholars, the book sheds new light on historical, theoretical and empirical issues pertaining to the documentary film, in order to better comprehend the significant transformations of the form in the colonial, late colonial and immediate post-colonial period. Covering diverse geographical and colonial contexts in countries like Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Hong Kong, and focusing on under-researched or little-known films, it demonstrate the complex set of relations between the colonisers and the colonised throughout the region.

Revue de Presse :
A powerful book that addresses the relationship between documentary films and postcolonialism in South-East Asia...the book’s attempt to push the reflection on the relationship between visuality and colonial legacies beyond pre-determined styles and discourses is noteworthy.– GIANMARCO MANCOSU, University of Warwick, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television

Documentary cinema and related forms of state produced film framed and facilitated the colonization of South and South-East Asia, and this important new volume explores that history across the region and the twentieth century. By doing so it makes a significant and singular contribution to the burgeoning scholarly work on the political uses of cinema, particularly in sustaining imperialism and across the partial, halting, transition to "post-colonial" states.'– Dr Lee Grieveson, University College London
