Palestinian cinema in the days of revolution [book review] Abstract: Book reviewed: Nadia Yaqub. Palestinian cinema in the days of revolution, Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, ISBN 978-1-4773-1596-5, 2018, 266 pages. -- Nadia Yaqub’s book provides rich insights into the emergence and development of Palestinian cinema. It highlights the role played by Palestinian films in supporting the Palestinian struggle for statehood. Yaqub, an expert in Arabic language and culture, and chair of the Department of Asian Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, provides a detailed account of films produced during the 1960s and 1970s, placing them in their historical context. She thus provides readers with background information on Palestinian politics, history, and culture at a pivotal juncture of the Palestinian struggle for emancipation and freedom.

The Palestinian idea : film, media, and the radical imagination [book review] Abstract: Book reviewed: Greg Burris. The Palestinian idea: Film, media, and the radical imagination. Philadelphia: Temple University Press, ISBN: 978-1439916742, 2019, 298 pages. -- This book explores the intersection of resistance, coloniality, and imagination in Palestine. Examining cinema as a site that articulates the cracks, fissures, and crevices of settler colonialism and its claim to universality, Burris’ rich cinematic analysis investigates dominant and marginalized frames of reference. The purpose of the book is to explore alternative possibilities and readings of the Palestinian present that do not presume that the Zionist project has been completed, and how a decolonial Palestine already exists in the here and now, expressing a utopic dimension. In particular, Burris analyzes Palestinian imagination as portrayed in film based on an equity consciousness rather than as a response to oppression.

Las miradas múltiples : el cine regional peruano (overlooked treasures : an introduction to Peruvian regional cinema) [book review] Abstract: Book reviewed: Emilio Bustamante & Jaime Luna-Victoria. Las miradas múltiples: El cine regional peruano. (Overlooked treasures. An introduction to Peruvian Regional Cinema) (Vols. I and II). Lima: Universidad de Lima, Fondo Editorial, ISBN 9789972453939 (Vol. I), 2017, 492 pages and ISBN 9789972453946 (Vol. II) , 2017, 444 pages. -- Las miradas múltiples: el cine regional peruano, volumes I and II, is the result of eight years of exhaustive research by Peruvian scholars, Emilio Bustamante and Jaime LunaVictoria. The authors define “Peruvian regional cinema” as any film that is produced by local filmmakers in the regions outside of Metropolitan Lima and the Constitutional Province of Callao. Volume I situates regional cinema within the larger system that is the Peruvian film industry, and offers a comprehensive analysis of 100 representative works of cinema produced in sixteen regions of Peru. Volume II is a selection of in-depth interviews with thirty-two filmmakers from across the country. The publication includes 123 pages of supporting statistical data and images. The ambitious scope of this research makes it the most comprehensive publication on Peruvian regional cinema to date. The book’s greatest contribution is that it highlights the cultural contribution of hundreds of Peruvian filmmakers whose work has been systematically overlooked in the capital city. To redress this situation, the authors critically comment on the ways inefficient public policies have affected regional filmmakers and offer recommendations to improve this situation.
