Set against the context of Singapore's own trajectory of development, the book poses two central questions: how can the films of each period be considered 'Singapore' films, and how is this cinema specifically national? The book argues that the films of these three periods collectively constitute a national cinema through different performances of Singapore, offering a critical framework for understanding this cinema and its history in relation to the development of the country and the national.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edna Lim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474452256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474452250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Edna Lim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989872279807,"sku":"9781474452250","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d7c4d3dd-fd20-49c5-97a2-1b3aa5a8df17.jpg?v=1683301825","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/celluloid-singapore-edna-lim-9781474452250","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
