Aitken uncovers how the British official film, and British official information agencies, adapted to the epochal contexts of the Cold War and end of empire. In addition to an extensive introduction, which touches on a number of critical issues related to the post-war British official film, the book provides an account of how the tradition of film-making associated with the British documentary film movement spread into the region during the post-war period, and how that tradition was contested by a ?Colonial Office? tradition of film-making. The volume concludes by covering the rise of television in the region within the context of developing post-colonial authoritarian states in Singapore and Malaysia, and the continuation of colonial authoritarianism in Hong Kong. 606 $aMotion pictures$zGreat Britain 606 $aEthnology$zAsia 606 $aCulture 606 $aMotion pictures$xHistory 606 $aImperialism 606 $aBritish Film and TV 606 $aAsian Culture 606 $aFilm and TV History 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 615 0$aMotion pictures 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 14$aBritish Film and TV. 615 24$aAsian Culture. 615 24$aFilm and TV History. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 676 $a791.430941 700 $aAitken$b Ian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063301 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153101403321 996 $aThe British Official Film in South-East Asia$92531519 997 $aUNINA
