Film is a universally enjoyed medium that reflects reality and
immortalises the social status quo. Therefore, while journalism is
called the first draft of history, film can be called its final
print. The medium of film has enchanted the public imagination
since its inception. While Hollywood and Bollywood have remained
icons, the Arab cinema industry has not received due attention.
Egypt dominated the Arab ethos for over a century exporting films
and stars to the Arab world. Looking at the portrayal of women in
two prolific and socially relevant periods in Egyptian film
history, this book focuses on a content analysis of films using
social realities as a touchstone to assess how well they mirror
life. Film as the Final Print of History provides film enthusiasts
with valuable insight into a significant but under-reported sector
of the world's film heritage.
