The rise of independent cinema in Southeast Asia, following the
emergence of a new generation of filmmakers there, is among the
most significant recent developments in global cinema. The advent
of affordable and easy access to digital technology has empowered
startling new voices from a part of the world rarely heard or seen
in international film circles. The appearance of fresh, sharply
alternative, and often very personal voices has had a tremendous
impact on local film production. This book documents these
developments as a genuine outcome of the democratization and
liberalization of film production. Contributions from respected
scholars, interviews with filmmakers, personal accounts and primary
sources by important directors and screenwriters collectively
provide readers with a lively account of dynamic film developments
in Southeast Asia.
Interviewees include Lav Diaz, Amir Muhammad, Apichatpong
Weerasethakul, Eric Khoo, Nia Dinata and others.
