| Summary |
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. Terri Ginsberg is assistant professor of film and media at Concordia University in Montreal. She is the author of Visualizing the Palestinian Struggle and Holocaust Film: The Political Aesthetics of Ideology; co-author of Historical Dictionary of Middle Eastern Cinema; and co-editor of Cinema of the Arab World and A Companion to German Cinema. She is a founding member of the Middle East Moving Image Collective (MEMIC). Her forthcoming edited collection looks at the governmentalization of international film education |
