This book explores ways in which diverse regional cultures in
Indonesia and their histories have been expressed in film since the
early 1950s. It also explores underlying cultural dominants within
the new nation, established at the end of 1949 with the achievement
of independence from Dutch colonialism. It sees these dominants-for
example forms of group body language and forms of consultation-not
simply as a product of the nation, but as related to unique and
long standing formations and traditions in the numerous societies
in the Indonesian archipelago, on which the nation is based.
Nevertheless, the book is not concerned only with past traditions,
but explores ways in which Indonesian filmmakers have addressed,
critically, distinctive aspects of their traditional societies in
their feature films (including at times the social position of
women), linking past to the present, where relevant, in dynamic
ways.
