Description
New Voices in Arab Cinema by Roy Armes explores the complex and evolving world of contemporary filmmaking in the Middle East and North Africa. Since the 1980s, this region has produced a diverse range of films that reflect its unique cultural heritage and historical context. Armes examines the ways in which film production is shaped by national cinemas, state and private industry, international developments, and key filmmakers. He also considers the impact of globalisation, migration, and exile on Arab cinema, providing a nuanced analysis of the current state of filmmaking in the region. This landmark book offers a comprehensive overview of Arab cinema, combining historical context with in-depth critical analysis to provide a rich understanding of this dynamic and fascinating field.
