In contemporary East and Southeast Asia, entangled historical transformations have given rise to a proliferation of linguistic and cultural forms in film and the moving image. Bringing together three scholars, this symposium examines—from their respective vantage points—films and moving-image works from the 1940s through the 1960s alongside more recent examples, tracing how multiple voices and languages give rise to expressions that cut across linguistic and geopolitical borders. Behind such intersections of language lie dense, often fraught histories. Approaching these layers through the lens of language in film and the moving image, the session probes this overlapping terrain and asks what forms of common ground come into view.
