  • Roots of the New Arab Film

    Roy ArmesBOOKRoots of the New Arab Film2018

    Roots of the New Arab Film deals with the generation of filmmakers from across North Africa and the Middle East who created an international awareness of Arab film from the mid-1980s onwards. These seminal filmmakers experienced the moment of national independence first-hand in their youth and retained a deep attachment to their homeland. Although these aspiring filmmakers had to seek their training abroad, they witnessed a time of filmic revival…

  • New Voices in Arab Cinema

    Roy ArmesBOOKNew Voices in Arab Cinema2015

    New Voices in Arab Cinema focuses on contemporary filmmaking since the 1980s, but also considers the longer history of Arab cinema. Taking into consideration film from the Middle East and North Africa and giving a special nod to films produced since the Arab Spring and the Syrian crisis, Roy Armes explores themes such as modes of production, national cinemas, the role of the state and private industry on film, international developments in film, …

  • Arab Filmmakers of the Middle East

    Roy ArmesBOOKArab filmmakers of the Middle East2010

    This title is broader than Rebecca Hillauer's 'Encyclopedia of Arab Women Filmmakers' (CH, Jul'06, 43-6241) and complements the' Companion Encyclopedia of Middle Eastern and North African Film', edited by Oliver Leaman (CH, Mar'02, 39-3694). It focuses on Arab filmmakers, so its scope is narrower, topically and geographically, than the Leaman volume. However, this title by Armes (emer., Middlesex Univ., UK) has unique merits: its in-depth coverag…

  • The Poetic Vision of Nacer Khemir

    Roy ArmesARTICLEThird Text2010Citada por: 2

    This article looks at the unique vision of Tunisian Nacer Khemir as expressed in the three feature films he has directed over the past twenty‐five years: Les Baliseurs du désert (1984), Le collier perdu de la colombe (1990) and Bab’ Aziz (2005). His inspiration, rooted in the oral storytelling which formed a key part of his own childhood and in The Arabian Nights, first found expression in collections of fantastical tales and children’s stories. …

  • Postcolonial African Cinema

    Roy ArmesARTICLEScreen2009

    These two recently published books allow us to appreciate the wide range of current approaches to filmmaking in Africa and to see the diverse ways in which ‘African cinema’ is currently conceived. David Murphy and Patrick Williams both teach at British universities, and Murphy is already well known for his study of Ousmane Sembene and for his work in running Edinburgh's annual ‘Africa in Motion’ festival. Their book, which includes discussion of …

  • Women pioneers of Arab cinema

    Roy ArmesARTICLEScreen2007

    The task of searching for lost African classics is perhaps nowhere more complex than in relation to the cinematic output of African women. Many critics have commented upon the ‘belated arrival’ of filmmaking by sub-Saharan Africans in the early 1960s, but it is less frequently noted that the first films by African women (apart from the seemingly lost short documentary, Tam-Tam à Paris, by the Cameroonian director Thérèse Sita-Belle in 1963) did n…

  • Raja Amari (Tunisia)

    Roy ArmesCHAPTERAfrican filmmaking2006

    This chapter focuses on filmmaker Raja Amari. Amari was born into a middle-class family in Tunis in 1971. She studied French literature and civilisation at the University of Tunis I, before going on to study film at FEMIS in Paris, from which she graduated in 1998. Before making her first feature, Satin Rouge (2002), Amari made three short films, beginning with The Bouquet/Le Bouquet (1995). Her best known short is April/Avril (1998), an atmosphe…

  • Individual Struggle

    Roy ArmesCHAPTERAfrican filmmaking2006

    This chapter discusses African filmmaking in the 1980s and 1990s. The African filmmakers of the 1960s and early 1970s were largely concerned — after the long period of colonisation — to show Africa from an African perspective, to make their audiences see things anew by projecting the everyday realities around them onto the screen. In doing so, they were calling upon audiences to recognise their own social and historical situation. As the initial …

  • African Initiatives

    Roy ArmesCHAPTERAfrican filmmaking2006

    This chapter focuses on post-independence filmmaking in four adjoining areas astride the Sahara: Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and the fourteen independent states in francophone West Africa south of the Sahara. A number of general factors influenced filmmaking in all four geographic areas. Firstly, there was the persistence into the post-independence period of Western film dominance over African screens, a situation that African governments were larg…

  • The African Experience

    Roy ArmesCHAPTERAfrican filmmaking2006

    This chapter begins with a discussion of filmmaking in Africa by Africans as a fundamentally postcolonial activity and experience. This is most evident in the in the two contiguous but variously colonised geographical areas dealt with in this book. The first area comprises the North African countries forming the Maghreb: Tunisia and Morocco, and Algeria. The second area comprises the states formed south of the Sahara from the two giant colonies o…

  • Beginnings

    Roy ArmesCHAPTERAfrican filmmaking2006

    This chapter shows the nature of the varying strands of film production which existed in Africa at the time when post-independence feature filmmaking was established, in both the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan West Africa, in the mid-1960s. Foreign producers from Europe and the United States still use the rural landscapes of the Maghreb as locations for their films and, though the old colonial ideology no longer prevails, the works produced have as litt…

  • The Post-Independence Generation

    Roy ArmesCHAPTERAfrican filmmaking2006

    This chapter argues that it is now possible to see the outlines of a new wave or generation, the first to be comprised entirely of filmmakers who, because of their date of birth, never experienced life under colonial rule. Filmmakers born since independence now make up about 15 per cent of the total number of francophone African filmmakers — and a far greater proportion of those currently active (they are responsible for almost a third of all fea…

  • Abderrahmane Sissako (Mauritania)

    Roy ArmesCHAPTERAfrican filmmaking2006

    This chapter focuses on filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako. Sissako was born in Kiffa, Mauritania in 1961, brought up in Mali, trained at the VGIK film school in Moscow, and has resided in Paris since the early 1990s. Sissako is very much the product of the European exile that foreign film school training entails. Asked about the films that have influenced him, he cites not his African forerunners, but Fellini's La Strada, Tarkovsky's Ivan's Childhoo…

  • African Filmmaking

    Open AccessRoy ArmesBOOKAfrican filmmaking2006Citada por: 17

    This book is a study linking filmmaking in the Maghreb (Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia) with that in francophone West Africa and examining the factors (including Islam and the involvement of African and French governments) which have shaped post-independence production. The main focus is the development over forty years of two main traditions of African filmmaking: a social realist strand examining the nature of postcolonial society; and a more ex…

Armes divides the contents into two parts: Histories, a chronological, decade-by-decade account of the develop…
