To date, there has been little sustained attention given to the
historical cinema relations between Australia and Asia. This is a
significant omission given Australia's geo-political position and
the place Asia has held in the national imaginary, oscillating
between threat and opportunity. Many accounts of Australian cinema
begin with the 1970s film revival, placing "Asian-Australian
cinema" within a post-revival schema of multicultural or diasporic
cinema and ignoring Asian-Australian connections prior to the
revival. Transnational Australian Cinema charts a history of
Asian-Australian cinema, encompassing the work of diasporic Asian
filmmakers, films featuring images of Asia and Asians, films
produced by Australians working in Asia's film industries or
addressed at Asian audiences, and Asian films that use Australian
resources, including locations and personnel. Utilizing an
interdisciplinary approach, the book considers diasporic Asian
histories, the impact of government immigration and film policies
on representation, and the new aesthetic styles and production
regimes created by filmmakers who have forged links, both through
roots and routes, with Asia. This expanded history of
Asian-Australian cinema allows for a renewed discussion of
so-called dormant periods in the nation's film history. In this
respect, the mapping of an expanded history of cinema practices
contributes to our broader aim to rethink the transnationalism of
Australian cinema.
