Situated within an emerging academic interest in documentary film
in the Middle East and North Africa, this book studies the
development of diverse documentary forms in relation to
revolutionary and emancipatory movements that took place across the
twentieth century in the so-called Arab World. Inspired by Deleuze
and Guattari’s image of a “rhizome,” the author takes a
de-territorialized approach to revolutionary filmmaking, embracing
the diversity and fluidity of revolutionary works in the “Arab
World.” As well as outlining the documentary film histories of
the main film-producing nations of the region – Syria, Lebanon,
Palestine, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco – the book
analyzes the formal and esthetic features of individual works in
relation to specific socio-political historical developments.
Topics addressed include de-colonization, the wars of liberation,
the Tricontinental movement, the Palestinian question, the Rif
Uprising, the Leaden and Black Years, civil war in Lebanon, the
recent Arab revolutions, state authoritarianism and
totalitarianism, gender, collectivism and political subjectivity.
Ultimately, the book contributes to a general theory of
revolutionary documentary film forms by studying the works of
consecutive periods from different ideological contexts. The book
is much-needed reading for students and academics interested in
film and media studies and the history, culture and politics of the
Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
