Postcolonial Images is a comprehensive introduction to and
resource for cinema of the Maghreb. In clear and accessible prose,
Roy Armes examines the political and cultural context of the films
and the film industry in the post-independence era. Since the birth
of cinema, North Africa has been the site of countless European and
U.S. film productions. This book, however, focuses on the
postcolonial period, when indigenous filmmaking in each of the
three Maghreb countries Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia arose with
the newly independent nations. Comparative analyses of each country
s filmmaking in the decades following independence provide a
historical portrait of the conditions and environment for the
development of a postcolonial cinema. Armes then turns his
attention to an in-depth examination of 10 key films produced
between the 1970s and the 1990s, including Omar Gatlato, La Nouba,
Halfaouine, Silences of the Palace, and Ali Zaoua. The book
includes a dictionary of more than 135 North African filmmakers and
a chronological filmography."
