Beskrivning

This book offers a transnational, internationalist-feminist approach to the oeuvre of award-winning director, writer, and curator, Annemarie Jacir.Palestinian film culture is unique due to its geopolitical circumstances, including continued colonialism and occupation, and the refugeeship of its citizens. The scholarship on the politics of film and its role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict including activist work, international solidarity films, and work on Palestinian documentaries is usually defined by historical overviews of geopolitical events and developments. In contrast, this book offers an auteur-focused study of a global artist influenced by but not limited to the political discourse surrounding the Occupied Palestinian Territories.Jacir is a Palestinian woman whose work is recognised globally as innovative, politically challenging, and genre-crossing. The book offers an in-depth study of her films and other works by locating it in a geospatial, sociocultural, and critical theoretical framework. It critically analyses Annemarie Jacir's development as an artist, filmmaker, and curator of film.

Recensioner i media

Cheema and Van de Peer expertly illuminate Annemarie Jacir’s engagement with the complexity of the Palestinian experience as it traverses questions of memory, space and the transnational. The book pays homage to Jacir’s cinematic contribution as film editor, writer, producer and facilitator and perceptively traces the struggles and pleasures involved in the creation of a committed and aesthetically ambitious Palestinian cinema.
