Nine essays present the region's major national cinemas, devoting special attention to the work of directors who have given image and voice to dissent from political regimes, from patriarchal customs, from fundamentalist movements, and from the West. These country essays are complemented by in-depth discussions of eighteen films that have been selected for both their excellence and their critical engagement with pressing current issues. The introduction provides a comprehensive overview of filmmaking throughout the region, including important films produced outside the national cinemas. The long history of Iranian cinema, its international renown, and the politics of directors confronting the state, earns it a special place in this volume. The other major emphasis is on the Israel/Palestine conflict, featuring films by Palestinian directors, Israelis, and an Egyptian working in Syria. Twenty authors collaborated on this book, among them Walter Armbrust, Roy Armes, Kevin Dwyer, Eric Egan, Nurith Gertz, Lina Khatib, Florence Martin, and Nadia Yaqub. About half of the contributors are film scholars; the others range across literary studies and the social sciences to two film directors and a novelist. Beyond differences in disciplinary orientation, there is considerable variation among contributors in the perspectives that inform their writing. They offer an illuminating range of approaches to the cinemas of the region. -- Jacket. 000437170 588__ $$aDesciption based on print version record. 000437170 650_0 $$aMotion pictures$$xPolitical aspects$$zMiddle East. 000437170 650_0 $$aMotion pictures$$xPolitical aspects$$zAfrica, North. 000437170 650_0 $$aMotion pictures$$xSocial aspects$$zMiddle East. 000437170 650_0 $$aMotion pictures$$xSocial aspects$$zAfrica, North. 000437170 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xIn motion pictures. 000437170 651_0 $$aAfrica, North$$xIn motion pictures. 000437170 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000437170 7001_ $$aGugler, Josef. 000437170 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tFilm in the Middle East and North Africa.$$b1st ed.$$dAustin : University of Texas Press, 2010$$z9780292723276$$w(DLC) 2010035087$$w(OCoLC)607973981 000437170 8520_ $$bacq 000437170 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000437170 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3443529$$zOnline Access 000437170 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:437170$$pGLOBAL_SET 000437170 980__ $$aEBOOK 000437170 980__ $$aBIB 000437170 982__ $$aEbook 000437170 983__ $$aOnline
