For many East Asian nations, cinema and Japanese Imperialism
arrived within a few years of each other. Exploring topics such as
landscape, gender, modernity and military recruitment, this study
details how the respective national cinemas of Japan's territories
struggled under, but also engaged with, the Japanese Imperial
structures. Japan was ostensibly committed to an ethos of
pan-Asianism and this study explores how this sense of the
transnational was conveyed cinematically across the occupied lands.
Taylor-Jones traces how cinema in the region post-1945 needs to be
understood not only in terms of past colonial relationships, but
also in relation to how the post-colonial has engaged with shifting
political alliances, the opportunities for technological
advancement and knowledge, the promise of larger consumer markets,
and specific historical conditions of each decade.
