Indonesian Cinema after the New Order: Going Mainstream
Synopsis:This book presents the first systematic and most comprehensive history of contemporary Indonesian cinema. It focuses on a 20-year period of great upheaval from modest, indie beginnings, through mainstream appeal, to international recognition. It contributes to cultural studies and sociological research by defining the three stages of an industry moving from state administration; through needing to succeed in local pop culture; until it finally realizes international recognition as an art form.
