This book collates a comprehensive range of fascinating essays by
leading authors on film from across the Muslim world. Responding to
political and theoretical misconceptions about Islam and Muslim
culture, it covers North African, Arab and Asian cinemas in a rich
series of industry histories, single film studies and detailed
analyses of celebrated directors. Cinema in Muslim Societies is
innovative and timely in its explicit engagement with vexing
questions of Islamic aesthetics, political activism, socialism and
the role of women in Muslim contexts. The authors explore a wide
variety of topics, from cinematic art and poetry to religious
identity and pornography. Debated extensively at a programme of
public talks and screenings at the Institute of Contemporary Arts
in London in 2011, this volume remains supremely relevant in a
world of polarising identities and political violence engulfing
Muslim societies and the West. This book was originally published
as a special issue of Third Text.
