The Colonial Film Unit (C.F.U) was a propaganda and educational film production organization of the British government.[1] It produced films for various British colonies including British Guiana and Nigeria. The Jamaica Film Unit was a division for films produced in Jamaica. The Colonial Film Unit was established in 1939 and produced 200 films before being shut down in 1955.[2] It was part of Britain's Ministry of Information.[3] It produced a magazine titled Colonial Cinema.[4] Training filmmakers was also an important part of the unit's activities.[5]
Tom Rice is a British film historian and educator who has focused his work on studying the Colonial Film Unit, and the American Ku Klux Klan films; as well as the depiction of the far-right in media.[7][8][9]
