Beskrivning
Based on extended field research and meetings with members of Morocco’s film world, this book traces the development of Moroccan cinema over the past three decades. Drawing from his extensive work on Moroccan cinema, Kevin Dwyer discusses important aspects of Moroccan film culture such as freedom of expression, the role of women, cultural diversity, the promotion of culture, the role of humor, the shifting emphasis on the urban, autobiographical aspects of films, and the development of documentary films. Dwyer closely analyzes a significant number of Moroccan films, providing crucial details about filmmakers; historical context; and comparisons with the cinemas of Tunisia, Algeria, and Egypt.

Recensioner i media

“The Perils and Promise of Moroccan Cinema provides an interdisciplinary reading of Moroccan cinema as both art and social practice. The book’s strength lies in integrating historical, political, and anthropological perspectives without losing focus on cinema as an art form. It also expands the methodological possibilities for studying cinema by showing how anthropological tools can enter into dialogue with film and media studies.” (Idriss Benkacem and Youssef Boutahar, Global South Literary Studies, March 16, 2026)
