商品簡介
From Rushdi Abaza, an Italian-Egyptian actor prominent in the 1950s and 1960s, to Ezzedine Zulficar, a renowned director of Egyptian cinema's black-and-white "golden era" of the 1950s and early 1960s, this historical dictionary presents some 500 cross-referenced entries on the cinema of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Turkey, Iran, and Israel. The entries cover individual films, filmmakers, actors, other significant historical figures, events, concepts, national cinemas, and cinematic modes. As is typical of historical dictionaries from this publisher, editors Ginsberg (director, International Council for Middle East Studies) and Lippard (film studies, U. of Utah) also include a chronology, an introductory essay, and a bibliography.
