Film Title
Caméra Arabe
Director
Férid Boughedir
Synopsis
A documentary charting the last 20 years of Arab cinema (1967-1987).
Férid Boughedir’s essential documentary ‘Caméra Arabe’ charts the emergence
of the New North African & Middle East Cinema over two pivotal decades.
Following the successful formula of his earlier first-part work, Caméra
d’Afrique, Boughedir delivers a fast-moving, enlightening hour of clips and rare
testimonies, making a heartfelt declaration of unwavering support for politically
engaged North African & Middle East cinema that dared to challenge the
commercial dominance of mainstream production. The film analyses this new
wave, born from the 1960s independence movements, in North Africa and the
Middle East through the complex lenses of politics, society, and culture. It
reveals the direct, often secret, link between these critical, independently
produced auteur works and major regional events: the Six-Day War, Sadat’s
visit to Jerusalem, and the War in Lebanon. These historical ruptures led a
generation of filmmakers to ask fundamental questions: “What is a
North-african man or woman with an Arab culture today? What can he express
through cinema?”.
