The
number
of
people
living
under
British
colonial
rule
in
the
two
decades
after
1945
shrank
from
700
million
to
5
million,
amid
the
fractious
and
blood-soaked
decomposition
of
the
largest
and
most
ambitious
imperial
venture
in
human
history.
What
roles
did
film
play
across
the
period
1939–65,
in
the
face
of
rapidly
changing
geopolitics?
What
were
the
varied
ways
in
which
film
registered
and
projected
colonial
and
neocolonial
discourse
and
practice?
What
do
these
films
now
reveal
about
the
fantasies
and
realities
of
colonial
rule
and
its
ostensible
dissolution?Film
and
the
End
of
Empirebrings
together
leading
international
scholars
to
address
these
questions.
Contributors examine the enmeshing of cultural representation and political and economic control, and demonstrate the ways in which state and non-state actors harnessed film to instructional and pedagogical functions, putting media to work in order to shape the attitudes and conduct of populations to sustain colonial and neocolonial governmental order. They focus on a wide range of material, including newsreels; state-produced documentaries; corporate-financed non-fiction films; and narrative fiction films telling stories about the past and present of imperialist endeavour. At the same time, they address the institutions that were formed to foster colonial film, and develop new non-theatrical forms of global distribution and exhibition.Film and the End of Empireopens up a fascinating new area of film history and will be indispensable reading for those interested in global cinema history, didactic and non-theatrical cinema, film and geopolitics, and those interested in Britain's colonial history and its continuing legacy. This book was produced in conjunction with a major new website housing freely available materials and films relating to British colonial cinema, www.colonialfilm.org.uk, and a companion volume entitledEmpire and Film.
