Institution:

Bates College

Subject:

Description:

Indigenous cinema in the Middle East has been a medium not only of entertainment but also of social criticism and, implicitly, of governmental indifference to social justice issues. Films by prominent directors, including many women, are shown for insights they provide into everyday life in cities and their depiction of such urban challenges as anonymity, class consciousness, consumerism, drug addiction, educational problems, family disintegration, gender relations and roles in flux, poverty, and workplace abuses. Recommended background: Politics 160. Enrollment limited to 30. E. Hooglund.
