Centered on the movement of moving pictures, it explores the considerable impacts of travel and mobility on the nature of Arab cinema – from migration and expulsion, to pilgrimage and tourism. Starting with the inventive traditions of Arabic travelogues, the text traces the manifold pathways that converge in the cinemas of Syria, Palestine and Dubai. Syrian production bursts out of long-held practices of studying abroad, this time in the film schools of the Eastern Bloc. Palestinian movies react to international assumptions about the Holy Land, informed by pilgrimage accounts – ironizing the supposed freedoms of the road movie. Dubai launches its fledgling industry off the back of centuries' worth of trade route management, logistics expertise and labor migration. Contributing to the burgeoning field of transnational cinema studies, this compelling, buoyant and urgent text is essential reading for students of Film, Media Studies, Communication Studies, Arabic, Middle Eastern Studies and Tourism. 650 0 Motion pictures|zArab countries|xHistory. 650 0 Travel in motion pictures. 650 7 Motion pictures.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 Travel in motion pictures.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01155642 650 7 Film.|0(DE-588)4017102-4|2gnd 650 7 Reise.|0(DE-588)4115736-9|2gnd 651 7 Arab countries.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01240128 651 7 Syrien.|0(DE-588)4058794-0|2gnd 651 7 Palästina.|0(DE-588)4044381-4|2gnd 651 7 Dubai.|0(DE-588)4204043-7|2gnd 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 British Film Institute. 830 0 Cultural histories of cinema. 956 20161005 |bpfmcq|cCC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20171022 994 C0|bCUY
