Reviews
Well-written and extensively researched, Celluloid Colony offers a compelling case for non-fiction film as a bona fide historical source. . . A must-read for anyone with an interest in Dutch colonialism in Indonesia, visual ethnography, or propaganda film history., The author, who is also a novelist, has a succinct and accessible writing style, with the potential to attract an audience beyond academics. . . . Celluloid Colony is a valuable and welcome contribution to the fields of ethnography, anthropology, colonial history, colonial cinema, and documentary film., It is always rewarding when a book on a Southeast Asian topic offers material that can shake up established disciplines and knowledge. Sandeep Ray's book Celluloid Colony does just that. . . Raising new possibilities for scholarship and gaining new insights into colonial modernity, this is a pathbreaking book that will illuminate and refine prevalent views on the Dutch colonial project., [The book] is very organized, well researched, and has a strong thesis.... It should have a strong audience for those interested in Asian studies, colonial studies, early cinema, and may serve also serve as an essential book for researchers and scholars on how to incorporate visual texts (films) into the larger body of historical work, as well as what to look for, and how to write about, regarding these important celluloid films., [Ray's period of focus] ranges from the earliest films made in 1912 until 1930 and covers Colonial Institute, corporate, and religious films in the three substantive middle chapters. This is a signal achievement, for the gap it begins to fill is vast, there being no comparable work about Indonesia on film in this period.... The book's clarity and brevity make it a good text for documentary film or archive courses, or in tandem with other materials for teaching the Indonesian road to independence. Use in the classroom is facilitated by the fact that many of the materials analyzed by Ray are now available on the YouTube channels of Eye Filmmuseum and the Netherlands Institute of Sound and Vision (Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld & Geluid). Ray admirably completes the important task, as Karen Strassler has done for photography or Matthew Isaac Cohen for theater, of providing an analytical survey of how one genre sheds light on the not-so-far-distant late colonial past., Sandeep Ray's work provides a prime example of how archival materials can be leveraged to delve into the complexities of colonialism in Indonesia... By highlighting the colonial films of South East Asia, this book makes a substantial contribution to the field of South East Asian studies. It presents novel opportunities for scholars to explore the complex history of the region, including frequently disputed colonial encounters, without simply advocating for a particular political stance. The utilization of archival materials and the imaginative handling of such materials offer a unique viewpoint on the history of documentary film and its capacity to enrich our comprehension of colonialism and its legacies., The book's merit is that it gives meaning to the vast collection of early colonial films, which could easily be regarded as merely representing the colonial mentality of the day.

Synopsis
How should colonial film archives be read? How can historians and ethnographers use colonial film as a complement to conventional written sources? Sandeep Ray uses the case of Dutch colonial film in Indonesia to show how a critically, historically, and cinematically informed reading of colonial film in the archive can be a powerful and unexpected source--one that is more accessible than ever today because of digitization. The language of film and the conventions and forms of nonfiction film were still in formation in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Colonialism, Ray shows, was one of the drivers of this development, as the picturing of the native "other" in film was seen as an important tool to build support for missionary and colonial efforts. While social histories of photography in non-European contexts have been an area of great interest in recent years; Celluloid Colony for the first time brings moving images into the same scope of study.
