Updated collections of recent interviews with filmmakers whose
works represent trends in the film industries of Central Asia and
the Middle East, these two new geospecific editions expand upon the
earlier volume "Cinemas of the Other: A Personal Journey with
Film-Makers from the Middle East and Central Asia." Following an
introduction delineating the histories of the film industries of
the countries that make up the Middle East and Central
Asia--including Iran, Turkey, and the Central Asian republics of
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikstan, Turkmenistan, and
Uzbekistan--both books contain interviews stretching over a decade,
which position the filmmakers and their creative concerns within
the social or political context of their respective countries. The
striking variety of approaches toward each interview creates a rich
diversity of tone and opens the door to a better understanding of
images of "otherness" in film. In addition to transcripts of the
interviews, each chapter also includes stills from important films
discussed, biographical information about the filmmakers, and
filmographies of their works. Gonul Donmez-Colin offers in these
expanded editions a carefully researched and richly detailed
firsthand account of the developments and trends in these regional
film industries that is sure to be appreciated by film scholars and
researchers of the Middle East and Central Asia.
