Silver Screens and Golden Dreams: A Social History of Burmese Cinema (University of Hawai’i Press, 2024) by Jane M. Ferguson, explores the other, less known side of Burma, "as an outwardly oriented, internationally connected place, with a vibrant and creative movie industry, talented film directors, packed cinemas, glamorous movie stars, and even a Burmese version of the Academy Awards."

Jane M. Ferguson is an associate professor of anthropology and Southeast Asian history at the Australian National University.
