Description

Offers the first study about Jocelyne Saab (1948-2019), a Lebanese pioneer of Arab cinema Offers a cohesive study of her oeuvre, both filmic, activist and artistic Positions Saab's work as central to the development of world cinema, and not only in the Arab world Provides a comprehensive and fresh study of her work, bringing together scholars from across the globe Jocelyne Saab was one of the most important female filmmakers pioneering a sense of international emancipatory world cinema from the early 1970s to her death in 2019. This book is the first English-language study dedicated to her entire oeuvre which consisted of journalism, documentaries, experimental and feature films, as well as photography, art exhibitions and curation, and film festival organisation. In this book, a range of international scholars integrates her work into a cohesive study of all aspects of her oeuvre filmic, activist and artistic representing the global significance of Saab's work and the ongoing resonance of her ideals and activism in a worldwide perspective.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
