This collection examines Southeast Asia's cinematic development throughout the latter part of the 20th century, before the post-2000 revival and the advent of digital filmmaking.[-][-]Following the end of World War 2, after which many Southeast Asian nations gained their national independence, and up until the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-1998, film industries in Southeast Asia had distinctive and colourful histories shaped by unique national and domestic conditions. This collection addresses the similar themes, histories, trends, technologies, and socio-political events that have moulded the art and industry of film in this region, identifying the unique characteristics that continue to shape cinema, spectatorship and Southeast Asian filmmaking in the present and the future. Bringing together scholars across the region, chapters explore the conditions that have given rise to today's burgeoning Southeast Asian cinemas as well as the gaps that manifest as temporal belatedness and historical disjunctures in the more established regional industries.
