What do Pam Grier, a three foot tall Filipino secret agent, and a race of humanoid sea creatures have in common? They are all inhabitants of a vibrant cultural borderlands, fantastic creations dreamed up through the vigorous filmic exchange between the United States and the Philippines in the postcolonial period. This dissertation examines the role of cinema as a cultural mediator between the United States and its former colony after the Philippines achieved independence in 1946. This study investigates the ways film served to continue to tie these two nations together in this period while considering the circulation of cinematic forms across national boundaries as a mutually constitutive and interdependent postcolonial history that blurs these distinctions. It reveals a postcolonial experience molded by both Americans and Filipinos, an intertwined process of cultural exchange rooted in the colonial past but actively shaped anew through the pathways that continue to bind together both nations.

520 $a This study attempts to write U.S.-Philippine history as a distinct field rather than a subsidiary of the national histories of the United States and the Philippines. In documenting these cinematic relations as a field of exchange involving both Americans and Filipinos, I argue that these encounters produced a history that exists in the overlap between the two nations. This history belongs to both the United States and the Philippines, a shared past influenced by the contributions of Americans and Filipinos. This study offers a way of conceiving of American foreign relations in which actors outside of the United States play a vital role in shaping this relationship. The subjectivities and interpretive possibilities alive in film production make this subject matter particularly conducive to examining this process. Beyond contributing to the historiographies of the United States and U.S.-Philippine relations, this study seeks to add to the larger study of postcolonial history by examining the localization of imported and appropriated cultural forms, the creation of a fluid global culture, and the challenges faced by postcolonial nations in their relationships with their former colonizers.
