Asian Film Online – database to test drive

Asian Film Online, from Alexander Street Press, offers a view of Asian culture as seen through the lens of the independent Asian filmmaker. Through a selection curated by film scholars and critics, viewers can explore the impact of globalization and urbanization on people’s everyday lives throughout the greater Asian region.

Researchers and students engaged in area studies, anthropology, film studies, philosophy, geography, education, religion, gender studies, world literature, urban development, cross-cultural communication, journalism, social sciences, and humanities may be interested in exploring this rare collection of films.

Trial access to the databases will end on 14 June 2014. Access the database here or via the Library Catalogue, and from the E-Resources@the University of Melbourne blog where you can also leave comments about the database. Your feedback on trials is important and is used to inform possible purchase decisions.   Other database trials
