Films for the Colonies

By Tom Rice

0 - Default Title
Description
"It is deliciously ironic that an institution created to administer an empire through film should become the exemplary case of imperial cinema's dissolution. Tom Rice's account, which has the potential to be a touchstone for institutional and imperial histories, shows us how the British Colonial Film Unit was precisely such an organization."--Priya Jaikumar, author of Where Histories Reside: India as Filmed Space and Cinema at the End of Empire

"Brings to light a treasure trove of archival sources and films in a synthetic perspective that clarifies lingering mysteries regarding the organization of the British colonial film units. This remarkable book adds significant complexity to our understanding of government-sponsored documentary cinema."--Peter J. Bloom, author of French Colonial Documentary: Mythologies of Humanitarianism
