To a substantial degree cinema has served to define the perceived
character of the peoples and nations of the Middle East. This book
covers the production and exhibition of the cinema of Morocco,
Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq,
the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabi, Yemen, Kuwait, and Bahrain,
as well as the non-Arab states of Turkey and Iran, and the Jewish
state of Israel. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of
Middle Eastern Cinema contains a chronology, an introduction, and
an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500
cross-referenced entries on individual films, filmmakers, actors,
significant historical figures, events, and concepts, and the
countries themselves. It also covers the range of cinematic modes
from documentary to fiction, representational to animation, generic
to experimental, mainstream to avant-garde, and entertainment to
propaganda. This book is an excellent resource for students,
researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Middle Eastern
cinema.
