The filmmakers profiled here represent principal national cinemas of the Arab world--Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, and Syria. Although they have produced many of the region's most-renowned films and gained recognition at major international festivals, with few exceptions these filmmakers have received little critical attention. All ten share a concern with giving image and voice to people struggling against authoritarian regimes, patriarchal traditions, or religious fundamentalism--theirs is a cinéma engagé. The featured directors are Daoud Abd El-Sayed, Merzak Allouache, Nabil Ayouch, Youssef Chahine, Mohamed Chouikh, Michel Khleifi, Nabil Maleh, Yousry Nasrallah, Jocelyne Saab, and Elia Suleiman."--Publisher information. 650 0 Motion pictures|zArab countries|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Motion picture producers and directors|zArab countries. 650 0 Motion pictures|xPolitical aspects|zArab countries. 650 0 Motion pictures|xSocial aspects|zArab countries. 650 7 Performing Arts.|2eflch 650 7 Motion picture producers and directors.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01027225 650 7 Motion pictures.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 Motion pictures|xPolitical aspects.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01027353 650 7 Motion pictures|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01027384 650 7 Film|2gnd|0(DE-588)4017102-4 650 7 Filmregisseur|2gnd|0(DE-588)4154375-0 650 7 Filmproduzent|2gnd|0(DE-588)4324247-9 650 7 Arabländerna.|2sfit 650 7 Performing Arts.|2ukslc 651 7 Arab countries.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01240128 651 7 Arabische Staaten|2gnd|0(DE-588)4068789-2 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 Gugler, Josef,|eeditor. 956 20180110|bpfmcq|cCC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20180121 994 C0|bCUY
