Expanded Course Description
This course will investigate various film cultures of the Middle East and will situate its national traditions within regional and global perspectives. Taking a critical approach to national cinema studies in a world of increasingly globalized film audiences, we will explore both the influence of world cinema on the Middle East film cultures and, in turn, the extent to which the aesthetics of the Middle East cinema is integral to our conception of world cinema. Our discussion of films in class will be supplemented by pertinent scholarly analyses in order to complicate any facile understanding of the Middle East, but also to deepen our awareness of the cultural contexts through which cinema has emerged as an aesthetic form. Drawing on various national traditions, this course will include films from Iran, Turkey, Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt.
