This book project unfolds and analyzes the work of Moroccan
director, producer, and scriptwriter Farida Benlyazid, whose career
extends from the beginning of cinema in independent Morocco to the
present. This study of her work and career provides a unique
perspective on an under-represented cinema, the gender politics of
cinema in Morocco, and the contribution of Arab women directors to
global cinema and to a gendered understanding of Muslim ethics and
aesthetics in film. A pioneer in Moroccan cinema, Farida Benlyazid
has been successful at negotiating the sometimes abrupt turns of
Morocco’s rocky 20th century history: from Morocco under French
occupation to the advent of Moroccan independence in 1956; the end
of the international status of Tangier, her native city, in 1959;
the “years of lead” under the reign of Hassan II; and finally
Mohamed VI’s current reign since 1999. As a result, she has a
long view of Morocco’s politics of self-representation as well as
of the representation of Moroccan women on screen
