The first anthology to focus primarily on the use of official and colonial documentary films in the South and South-East Asian regionsBased 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.Key featuresCase studies of films and series include: the Berita Singapura film series; Merdeka for Malaya; Ho Chi Minh in France; Flores Film; Ria Rago; Archives of the Planet seriesFocuses on regions in South and South-East Asia including: Singapore; Malaya; India; Indonesia; Vietnam; and the PhilippinesAnalyses missionary films, travelogues, newsreels, TV series and guerrilla documentaries To find out more visit Hong Kong Baptist University's research website on the Documentary Film in South and South-East AsiaContributorsIan Aitken, Hong Kong Baptist UniversityTimothy P.
