Contemporary Arab and Maghrebi Cinema, 10 May to 7 June

Dear all,
This is to let you know that the Cornerhouse will host our film season:
CONTEMPORARY ARAB AND MAGHREBI CINEMA: NEW DIRECTIONS AND AESTHETICS: From Tue 10 May to Tue 7 June
This film season aims to explore filmic representations of some of the many transformations that have taken place in the Arab and Maghrebi world over recent decades. 
The selected films address issues and themes of great concern to the peoples of the Maghreb and Middle East, such as the making and remaking of individual and national identities; migration and exile; the Arab/Israeli conflict; and the position of the contemporary Arab city in a global context. 

This season is organised by Dr. Joseph McGonagle and Dr. Dalia Mostafa from The University of Manchester and funded by CASAW (Centre for the Advanced Study of the Arab World).
Please visit the following webpage for the full programme of the films:
