General
North African Cinema in a Global Context by
This book provides insight into contemporary film production from North African countries referred to as the Maghreb. Focus is both on the socio-economic context of film production, which suffers some of the same setbacks and obstacles as other regions of the developing world, and on the thematic details treated in the films themselves. The book delves into ideas such as gender and sexuality, national identity, political conflict, and issues of post and neo-colonial relationships in the context of globalisation. The book includes close analyses of individual films which at times show the taboo subjects of sexual and substance abuse, the lives of street children, and prostitution, as well as upper-class contradictions between an increasingly global position of privilege while in the midst of a traditionalist society. Others chapters focus on an individual filmmakers¿ world view as depicted in representations of contemporary daily life of the average Tunisian, Moroccan or Algerian. The book provides an understanding of day to day existence in Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria as depicted by local artists. The theoretical questions raised stretch beyond this topic to touch on ¿third world¿ art and film production, and production in conditions of political repression and rigid moral conservatism.

Francophone African Cinema: history, culture, politics and theory by
Setting the stage for a critical encounter between Francophone African cinema and Continental European critical theory, this book offers a transnational and interdisciplinary analysis of 16 Francophone African films, including Bassek Ba Kobhio's The Great White Man of Lambaréné, Cheick Oumar Sissoko's Guimba the Tyrant, and Amadou Seck's Saaraba. The author invites readers to study these films in the context of transnational conversations between African filmmakers and the conventional theorists whose works are more readily available in academia. The book examines black French filmmakers' treatments of a number of cross-cultural themes, including intercontinental encounters and reciprocity, ideology and subjective freedom, governance and moral responsibility, sexuality and social order, and globalization. Throughout the work, the presentation of literary theory is accessible by both beginning and advanced students of film and culture. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Africa's Lost Classics : New Histories of African Cinema by
Until recently, the story of African film was marked by a series of truncated histories: many outstanding films from earlier decades were virtually inaccessible and thus often excluded from critical accounts. However, various conservation projects since the turn of the century have now begun to make many of these films available to critics and audiences in a way that was unimaginable just a decade ago. In this accessible and lively collection of essays, Lizelle Bisschoff and David Murphy draw together the best scholarship on the diverse and fragmented strands of African film history. Their volume recovers over 30 'lost' African classic films from 1920-2010 in order to provide a more complex genealogy and begin to trace new histories of African filmmaking: from 1920s Egyptian melodramas through lost gems from apartheid South Africa to neglected works by great Francophone directors, the full diversity of African cinema will be revealed.

Transformations : Changements et renouveaux dans la littérature et le cinéma au Maghreb depuis 1990
Bienbeck, Ricarda; Naggare, Maroua El; Fendler, Ute; Gilzmer, Mechthild
Akademische Verlagsgemeinschaft München 09/03/2016 - 264.
Les trois pays du Maghreb que sont le Maroc, l'Algérie et la Tunisie ont connu des modifications sociales et politiques importantes au cours des vingt dernières années. Ces changements ont trouvé dans la littérature et le cinéma un écho thématique et esthétique contribuant au débat interne à la société aussi bien qu'à l'émergence de nouvelles écritures poétiques et de nouvelles esthétiques filmiques. Les contributions à cet ouvrage abordent des conflits jusqu'alors tabou, des souvenirs et mémoires refoulés, des rêves et des utopies négociés de manière que cet espace entre écriture/lecture devient un espace qui peut lier le présent avec le passé et un futur imaginé.
Maghrebs in Motion by
Exploring films made in Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria from 1985 to 2009, Suzanne Gauch illustrates how late post-independence and early twenty-first century North African cinema prefigured many of the transformations in perception and relation that stunned both participants and onlookersduring the remarkable uprisings of the 2011 Arab Spring. Through multifaceted examinations of key films by nine filmmakers - Farida Benlyazid, Mohamed Chouikh, Nacer Khemir, Nabil Ayouch, Lyes Salem, Nadia El Fani, Tariq Teguia, Faouzi Bensaidi, and Nejib Belkadhi - Gauch delineates the shiftingrelation of politics to film in the era of neoliberal globalization. Each work, she argues, taps the power inherent in cinema to destabilize patterns of perception and judgment while taking film's role as popular entertainment in new directions. Highlighting how each film taps into the mobility at the core of cinema to break through the boundaries that have long circumscribed filmmaking from North Africa, Gauch shows how this cinema continues to forge and reflect unexpected trajectories for itself and its audiences.

L’Autre dans le cinéma 
/ Ouvrage collectif sous la direction de Khouloud Ben Mohamed Gherbi
Langue: arabe, français
Les experts en psychiatrie et en psychanalyse s’intéressent dans leurs lectures des œuvres cinématographiques aux motifs psychiques et émotionnels en tant qu’éléments fondamentaux pour la compréhension de la structure du texte cinématographique. Le sociologue, quant à lui, il saisit le sens du message cinématographique comme étant un indice exprimant succinctement ce qui se passe dans une société complexe Ainsi, le film constitué de symboles suscite chez le récepteur certaines interprétations reflétant son expérience culturelle. La compréhension de la marche sémantique du film se rattache également à l’état psycho-mental étant donné que le récepteur est « pluriel » eu égard à ses dimensions mentale, psychique et culturelle. Ce sont là les principaux thèmes de cet ouvrage ayant pour titre: L’َAutre dans le cinéma. Le lecteur y trouve différentes approches de médecins, sociologues, écrivains tunisiens, européens et arabes reflétant différentes démarches culturelles de nature à nous faire rapprocher de l’Autre, nanti, lui aussi, d’expériences variées et multiples.

- Reworlding Tunisia: sacrifice in post-revolutionary cinema / Liverpool University Press, 2018. Abstract : Sacrifice permeates narratives of revolution and of national identity. In the context of the 2011 Tunisian revolution, the visual trope of sacrificeas-legitimacy has accrued particularly strong domestic and transnational force. This essay explores how the visual trope of sacrifice emanates from, and circulates through, recent documentaries and fiction films including Serge Moati's Artistes en Tunisie (2013), Nadia El Fani's Même pas mal (2012), Amine Chiboub's Résistance (2013), and Moncef Barbouch's Conflit (2014). These works highlight the visual circulation, recycling, and redefinition of sacrifice as integral to the history of the popular uprising. As a figure of dissent, sacrifice works by exceeding and pushing back against mainstream ideologies, articulating revolutionary calls for democratization. Yet it can also bolster monolithic formulations of national and religious belonging. In tracing a range of recent filmic depictions of sacrifice, I ask what is captured in, and what escapes from, this powerful figure. Finally, how might sacrifice work to "reworld" - reinvent, redefine, and reposition the Tunisian cultural identities mediated in film? Given Maghrebi cinema's progressive "de-orbiting" (Martin) from its traditional economic centers, toward a more dynamic, transnational culture of cinéma-monde, what are the stakes for Tunisia's new, multiple, and competing figurations of revolutionary sacrifice?

New Tunisian Cinema by
Tunisian cinema is often described as the most daring of all Arab cinemas. For many, Tunisia appeared to be a model of equipoise between "East" and "West," and yet, during Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's presidency, from 1987 to 2011, the country became the most repressive state in the Maghreb. Against considerable odds, a generation of filmmakers emerged in the mid-1980s to make films that are allegories of resistance to the increasingly illiberal trends that were marking their society. In New Tunisian Cinema, Robert Lang focuses on eight films by some of the nation's best-known directors, including Man of Ashes (1986), Bezness (1992) and Making Of (2006) by Nouri Bouzid, Halfaouine (1990) by Férid Boughedir, The Silences of the Palace (1994) by Moufida Tlatli, Essaïda (1997) by Mohamed Zran, Bedwin Hacker (2002) by Nadia El Fani, and The TV Is Coming (2006) by Moncef Dhouib. He explores the political economy and social, historical, and psychoanalytic dimensions of these works and the strategies filmmakers deployed to preserve cinema's ability to shape debates about national identity. These debates, Lang argues, not only helped initiate the 2011 uprising that ousted Ben Ali's regime but also did much to inform and articulate the aspirations of the Tunisian people in the new millennium.

Les revues françaises de cinéma face à la guerre d’Algérie / Association française de recherche sur l'histoire du cinéma (AFRHC). The Response of French Film Journals to the Algerian War. During the Algerian War (1954-1962), French film journals and Algerian corporate magazines published different and even contradictory accounts of the conflict. As a new wave of film criticism developed and different camps emerged, left-wing critics commented on the conflict and its representations, in an often allegorical manner. Conservative reviewers refused the ideological debate and restricted their discourse to aesthetic issues. Moreover, the war itself was not discussed in most film publications until the end of the conflict, along with the larger intellectual debate about this colonial war, whose end had been decided by General De Gaulle since September 1959. The Algerian trade papers related the growing fears of French settlers (‘Pieds-noirs’) as French institutions were progressively withdrawing from the country. They also discussed the consequences of the war on the economics of the local film industry. [1895. Revue de l'association française de recherche sur l'histoire du cinéma].

Beyond Casablanca by
In Beyond Casablanca, Kevin Dwyer explores the problems of creativity in the Arab and African world, focusing on Moroccan cinema and one of its key figures, filmmaker M. A. Tazi. Dwyer develops three themes simultaneously: the filmmaker's career and films; filmmaking in postcolonial Morocco; and the relationship between Moroccan cinema, Third World and Arab cinema, and the global film industry. This compelling discussion of Moroccan cinema is founded upon decades of anthropological research in Morocco, most recently on the Moroccan film sector and the global film industry, and exhibits a sensitivity to the cultural, political, social, and economic context of creative activity. The book centers on a series of interviews conducted with Tazi, whose career provides a rich commentary on the world of Moroccan cinema and on Moroccan cinema in the world. The interviews are framed, variously, by presentations of Moroccan history, society, and culture; the role of foreign filmmakers in Morocco; thematic discussions of cinematic issues (such as narrative techniques, the use of symbols, film as an expression of identity, and problems of censorship); and the global context of Third World filmmaking.

Screening Morocco by
Since 1999 and the death of King Hassan II, Morocco has experienced a dramatic social transformation. Encouraged by the more openly democratic climate fostered by young King Mohammed VI, filmmakers have begun to explore the sociocultural and political debates of their country while also seeking to document the untold stories of a dark past. Screening Morocco: Contemporary Film in a Changing Society focuses on Moroccan films produced and distributed from 1999 to the present. Moroccan cinema serves as an all-inclusive medium that provides a sounding board for a society that is remaking itself. Male and female directors present the face of an engaged, multiethnic and multilingual society. Their cinematography promotes a country that is dynamic and connected to the global sociocultural economy of the twenty-first century. At the same time, they seek to represent the closed, obscure past of a nation's history that has rarely been told, drawing on themes such as human rights abuse, the former incarceration of thousands during the Lead Years, women's emancipation, poverty, and claims for social justice. Screening Morocco will introduce American readers to the richness in theme and scope of the cinematic production of Morocco.

Poupées d'argile = Clay dolls by 
Omrane, 40, a former domestic, feels liberated when he sets up a modest housekeeping business. He transports "maids of all work" in his delivery van from his native village -- renowned for the women's know-how in the arts of Berber pottery -- to the nouveau riche families recently settled in the posh part of town. He vouches for the women's safety and for their salaries to their parents. Rebeh, rebellious and beautiful, is his most exuberant employee. Although submerged by harsh housework, she gets caught on the breeze of freedom and the joys of life and takes off. She remains on Omrane's conscience and he sets out to look for her in the city. He's accompanied by Fedah, 9, one of his new girls who has yet to find a job.
