These chapters treat a diverse archive of films, filmmakers, and contexts with theoretical and historical depth and an urgency of interpretation, challenging the enormous gaps in our knowledge of Arab cinematic expression. Not only is this book indispensable for courses on Arab cinema, it will undoubtedly prompt new routes of inquiry for researchers, teachers, and viewers alike." ? Peter Limbrick, University of California-Santa Cruz, USA ?Cinema of the Arab World fills gaps in the literature and re-envisions the ways in which Arab cinema has been looked at previously. It succeeds by avoiding conforming to the stereotypical molds that guide some scholarship about the region. The mix of established scholars as well as young researchers, and the inclusion of different philosophical and critical theories and methodologies, make this book indispensable to anyone interested in understanding contemporary Arab cinema. Highly recommended." ? Orayb Najjar, Northern Illinois University, USA This volume engages new films and modes of scholarly research in Arab cinema, and older, often neglected films and critical topics, while theorizing their structural relationship to contemporary developments in the Arab world. The volume considers the relationship of Arab cinema to transnational film production, distribution, and exhibition, in turn recontextualizing the works of acknowledged as well as new directorial figures, and country-specific phenomena. New documentary and experimental practices are referenced and critiqued, while commercial cinema is covered both as an industrial product and as one of several instances of contestation. The volume thus showcases the breadth and depth of Arab film culture and its multilayered connections to local conditions, regional affiliations, and the tendencies and aesthetics of global cinema. 410 0$aGlobal Cinema,$x2634-5951 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aEthnology?Middle East  606 $aCommunication 606 $aMotion pictures$xProduction and direction 606 $aGlobal Cinema and TV$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413240 606 $aMiddle Eastern Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411110 606 $aMedia and Communication$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412010 606 $aFilm and TV Production$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413150 606 $aFilm Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413090 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aEthnology?Middle East . 615 0$aCommunication. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xProduction and direction. 615 14$aGlobal Cinema and TV. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Culture. 615 24$aMedia and Communication. 615 24$aFilm and TV Production. 615 24$aFilm Theory. 676 $a791.4309174927 702 $aGinsberg$b Terri$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLippard$b Chris$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484347503321 996 $aCinema of the Arab World$91945743 997 $aUNINA
