The beginning of filmmaking in the German colonies coincided with
colonialism itself coming to a standstill. Scandals and economic
stagnation in the colonies demanded a new and positive image of
their value for Germany. By promoting business and establishing a
new genre within the fast growing film industry, films of the
colonies were welcomed by organizations such as the Deutsche
Kolonialgesellschaft (German Colonial Society). The films triggered
patriotic feelings but also addressed the audience as travelers,
explorers, wildlife protectionists, and participants in unique
cultural events. This book is the first in-depth analysis of
colonial filmmaking in the Wilhelmine Era.
