| - El cinema colonial és el nom donat a la producció cinematogràfica realitzada per una potència colonial. S'entén per aquest terme un gènere cinematogràfic on es barregen entreteniment, interès científic i propaganda. Tot i que sovint se sol parlar del colonialisme i els productes culturals que en deriven com un fenomen occidental, d'altres estats com l'Imperi Japonès produïren cinema colonial. Aquestes pel·lícules generalment idealitzaven la vida a les colònies posant èmfasi en la idea de modernització que la potència colonial hi realitzava. Les realitzacions localitzades en espais colonials típicament representaven aquestes regions de l'imperi com a refugis per a persones que escapaven de la vida a la metròpoli. Com a resultat, els films colonials freqüentment evitaven representar la realitat de la vida en aquests països. La representació dels nadius, els llocs que habitaven i les seves costums tendia a la fantasia escapista, quan no eren obertament racistes. Avui en dia, des d'una perspectiva postcolonial, el cinema produït pels imperis colonials es conserva com una font important per comprendre la mentalitat i la ideologia imperialista i colonialista.
