Early Cinema in Asia explores how cinema became a popular medium in
the world's largest and most diverse continent. Beginning with the
end of Asia's colonial period in the 19th century, contributors to
this volume document the struggle by pioneering figures to
introduce the medium of film to the vast continent, overcoming
geographic, technological, and cultural difficulties. As an early
form of globalization, film's arrival and phenomenal growth
throughout various Asian countries penetrated not only colonial
territories but also captivated collective states of imagination.
With the coming of the 20th century, the medium that began as mere
entertainment became a means for communicating many of the cultural
identities of the region's ethnic nationalities, as they turned
their favorite pastime into an expression of their cherished
national cultures. Covering diverse locations, including China,
India, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Iran, and the
countries of the Pacific Islands, contributors to this volume
reveal the story of early cinema in Asia, helping us to understand
the first seeds of a medium that has since grown deep roots in the
region.
