Zusammenfassung:"Films for the Colonies examines the British Government's use of film across its vast Empire from the 1920s until widespread independence in the 1960s. Central to this work was the Colonial Film Unit, which produced, distributed and, through its network of mobile cinemas, exhibited instructional and educational films throughout the British colonies. Using extensive archival research and rarely-seen films, Films for the Colonies provides a new historical perspective on the last decades of the British Empire, through the war, civil unrest and political independence. It also offers a fresh exploration of British, and global, cinema, charting the emergence and endurance of new forms of cinema culture from Ghana to Jamaica, from Malta to Malaysia. This is not an antiquated history, but one that continues to shape Britain and its former colonies today"--Provided by publisher.
