This book project unfolds and analyzes the work of Moroccan director, producer, and scriptwriter Farida Benlyazid, whose career extends from the beginning of cinema in independent Morocco to the present. This study of her work and career provides a unique perspective on an under-represented cinema, the gender politics of cinema in Morocco, and the contribution of Arab women directors to global cinema and to a gendered understanding of Muslim ethics and aesthetics in film. A pioneer in Moroccan cinema, Farida Benlyazid has been successful at negotiating the sometimes abrupt turns of Morocco’s rocky 20th century history: from Morocco under French occupation to the advent of Moroccan independence in 1956; the end of the international status of Tangier, her native city, in 1959; the “years of lead” under the reign of Hassan II; and finally Mohamed VI’s current reign since 1999. As a result, she has a long view of Morocco’s politics of self-representation as well as of the representation of Moroccan women on screen

“Farida Benlyazid and Moroccan Cinema is a significant contribution and a timely publication … . The book explicitly invites film researchers to focus more than before on Moroccan women’s cinema, and offers the readers a fresh look at the experience of the first Moroccan female producer and director. For these reasons, this academic endeavour will be of great importance to anyone working on or teaching film, media and gender studies, inside or outside the kingdom.” (Said Chemlal, Africa Review, Vol. 17 (3), July, 2025)
