Focusing on the global and transnational nature of film, this landmark volume provides an overview of the study of cinemas and filmmaking practices from Southeast Asia, demonstrating the critical breadth and depth of this rich interdisciplinary field.Bringing together key themes and diverse methodologies that help illuminate Southeast Asian cinemas as a conceptual field, the book explores the coherence and dissonances that characterize Southeast Asian cinemas. Conceptually driven chapters speak to regionally derived epistemologies and ways of experiencing cinema through engagement with the latest critical debates in film, media, and screen cultures. Chapters propose methodologies for studying films from the region, and support debate around the futures of the region’s cinemas. Showcasing contributions from a wealth of international backgrounds, the book offers a dynamic, cross-border conceptual approach to Southeast Asian cinemas and explores its rich diversity in histories, cultures, and languages.A comprehensive and cutting-edge reference on Southeast Asian cinemas, the book will be an invaluable resource for postgraduate students and academics in the fields of Film Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, and Cultural Studies.
