Films of Arab Loutfi and Heiny Srour (eBook, PDF)

Studies in Palestine Solidarity Cinema

Beschreibung

This book places long overdue focus on the Palestine solidarity films of two important Arab women directors whose cinematic works have never received due attention within the scholarly literature or the cultural public sphere. Through an analysis that situates these largely overlooked films within the matrix of an anti-Zionist critique of cinematic ontology, this book offers a materialist feminist appreciation of their political aesthetics while critiquing the ideological enabling conditions of their academic absenting. The study of these daring films fosters a much-needed, sustained understanding of the meaning and significance of Palestine solidarity filmmaking for and within the Arab world.

Rezensionen

"This reinsertion of the timelessness of the Palestinian struggle could not arrive at a more perilous but also potentially progressive moment. ... This monograph in its recalling of a revolutionary past that is still present, is an extraordinary intervention in and furthering of that moment." (Dennis Broe, Journal of Contemporary Iraq & the Arab World, Vol. 18 (2-3), 2024)
