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.
