These ranged from newsreels to information, propaganda, and educational films, travelogues, as well as more radical, artistic formats, such as direct cinema and film essays. This book sets out to examine the long history of Arab nonfiction filmmaking in the Middle East and North Africa across a range of national trajectories and documentary styles, from the early twentieth century to the present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBringing together a distinguished group of film scholars, practitioners, and critics, Documentary \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eFilmmaking in the Middle East and North Africa\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etraces the historical development of documentary filmmaking with an eye to the widely varied socio-political, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural contexts in which the films emerged. Thematically, the contributions provide insights into a whole range of relevant issues, both theoretical and historical, such as structural development and state intervention, formats and aesthetics, new media, politics of representation, auteurs, subjectivity, minority filmmaking, 'Artivism, ' and revolution. Also unearthing previously unrecognized scholarly work in the field, this rich and theoretically informed collection sheds light on a hitherto neglected part of international film history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shafik, Viola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title \/ AUC Press","offer_id":51535819735346,"sku":"9789774169588","price":900.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8052\/8434\/files\/9789774169588.jpg?v=1786268109","url":"https:\/\/bibliothek-eg.com\/ar\/products\/9789774169588","provider":"BIBLIOTHEK  | Barakat for Bookstores","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
