MESA 5110 - Transnational Circuits of Cinema, Middle East-South Asia Film History


This course begins in the era of early cinema and proceeds through the contemporary moment, with a focus on Middle East – South Asia genealogies of filmmaking. Its emphasis remains on the quintessentially transnational histories (parallels, intersections, circuits) of these cinemas - e.g., the centrality of popular Egyptian cinema within the Arab world; the prolific circulation of Hindi cinema across and beyond South Asia.
