Cinema in the Arab world has been the subject of varied and
rigorous studies, but most have focused on films as text, providing
in-depth analyses of plot, style, ideologies, or examination of the
biographies of prominent directors or actors. This innovative new
volume shifts the focus on Arab cinema off-screen, to examine the
histories, politics, and conditions of distribution, exhibition,
and cinema-going in the Arab world. Through broadening the frame of
study beyond the screen, the book widens understanding of the
cinema, not merely as a collection of films-as-texts, but as a site
of cultural and political contestation in the Arab world. Divided
into two sections, and guided by interdisciplinary considerations,
the contributors examine historical and contemporary issues of Arab
cinema in terms of the experience of movie-going and filmmaking.
They examine the networks of distribution and exhibition, as well
as the contested and multiple meanings that the cinema embodied
through diverse historical periods and geographical locations. Part
I focuses on new histories of Arab cinema in terms of film
production, distribution, exhibition and audience's experiences of
cinema-going. Part II deals with more recent issues within
scholarship on Arab cinema such as issues of politics, economics,
ideologies, as well as issues related to Arab movies' international
circulation and screenings at festivals. Together, the chapters
enrich our understanding of the cinema in the Arab world, showing
how deeply embedded it is within its social, political, and
economic contexts.
