(Lexington 2013) charts a history of Asian Australian cinema, encompassing the work of diasporic Asian filmmakers, films featuring images of Asia and Asians, films produced by Australians working in Asia’s film industries or addressed to Asian audiences, and
Asian films that use Australian resources, including locations and personnel. It considers diasporic Asian histories, the impact of government immigration and film policies on representations, and the new aesthetic styles and production regimes created by
filmmakers who have forged links, through roots and routes, with Asia. This expanded history of Asian Australian cinema contributes to our broader aim to rethink the transnationalism of Australian cinema. This book is a completion of the Australian Research
Council funded project, The History of Asian Australian Cinema (2009-2011) (DP0987349).</span></font><font face="Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br>
