Malaya Black and White | Free film screenings on Wednesday evenings
Encapsulating the often false dichotomies that govern how we view the world, Malaya Black and White is a film series that present another aspect of the colonial archive - the moving image. Ranging from feature films to documentaries and propaganda materials, the cinematographic representations of colonial Malaya shift the focus away from simply content, as it recognises merit in what may have previously been branded tasteless.
