These seminal filmmakers experienced the moment of national independence first-hand in their youth and retained a deep attachment to their homeland. Although these aspiring filmmakers had to seek their training abroad, they witnessed a time of filmic revival in Europe - Fellini and Antonioni in Italy, the French New Wave, and British Free Cinema. Returning home, these filmmakers brought a unique insider/outsider perspective to bear on local developments in society since independence, including the divide between urban and rural communities, the continuing power of traditional values and the status of women in a changing society. As they made their first films back home, the feelings of participation in a worldwide movement of new, independent filmmaking was palpable. Roots of the New Arab Film is a necessary and comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the foundations of Arab cinema.Motion picture producers and directorsArab countriesMotion picturesArab countriesMotion pictures, ArabFranceMotion picture producers and directorsMotion picturesMotion pictures, Arab791.4309174927Armes Roy222353MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794925103321Roots of the new Arab film3806297UNINA
