Reorienting the Middle East
Untangling Fact, Fiction, Fantasy-and Outright Lies
Films compiled from archival footage unsettle assumptions about film and photography’s ability to capture truth—and the archive’s ability to contain it—through a critical practice of pirating. Sandhya Suri’s Around India with a Movie Camera, Rona Sela’s Looted and Hidden: Palestinian Archives in Israel, and Kamal Aljafari’s Recollection manipulate images from archives to expose the technical and institutional manipulations within colonial propaga…
Mapping Palestine/Israel through Interactive Documentary
Available on publicly accessible websites, interactive documentaries are typically free to use, allowing audiences to navigate through amounts of information too large for standard film or television documentaries. Media literacy, however, is needed to understand the ways that interactive documentaries reveal or conceal their power to narrate. Examining ARTE France’s Gaza Sderot (2008–9), Zochrot’s iNakba (2014), and Dorit Naaman’s Jerusalem, We …
UAE Filmmaking beyond Arabization, Cosmopolitanism, and Exceptionalism
More than 60 feature‐length narrative films have been produced in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) since the first in 1988. Few, however, have generated an excitement to suggest Emirati filmmaking may become popular culture. The first supported by the state‐owned media company, Image Nation Abu Dhabi, was Djinn (2013), staged local folklore of a female djinn under the direction of a Hollywood filmmaker. It was lampooned by critics and largely ignor…
Songs from India and Zanzibar
With a primarily South Asian population, including both middle-class families and 'bachelors', the Gulf states unsettle assumptions about the Middle East and South Asia developed from western area studies. This article examines three documentaries – From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf, Champ of the Camp and Sounds of the Sea – that layer visual images of the Gulf with songs from India and Zanzibar. They document the inequities and the ways in which vulnera…
Vampires, Race, and Transnational Hollywoods
Vampires of Color
Vampires, Race, and Transnational Hollywoods
This book proposes that vampire films and series constitute a different way of understanding Hollywood and the United States. It explores the movement of transnational Hollywood’s representations of the vampire, between low-budget quickies and high-budget blockbusters and franchises, even as it appropriates visual styles from German, Mexican and Hong Kong cinemas. Vampires allow us to refocus on Hollywood as plural , US history as transnational ,…
Thinking Through Digital Media
Mapping Open Space to Visualize Other Knowledges
Mapping orientates and determines ways in which we perceive and understand the world and our place in it. Maps reveal and illuminate, but they also conceal and obfuscate. Early mapping projects like Benjamin Fry's Anemone (United States, 1999; http://benfry.com/anemone/) visualize connections between webpages, much like information-clouds visualize keywords today. Anemone maps and visualizes using the structure of a tree with branches, revealing …
Of Course There Are Werewolves and Vampires”
Often dismissed as superficial, vampire films and television series have been a dominant mode by which Hollywood has negotiated the ever-shifting contours of social difference in the United States since the 1920s and 1930s. Remarkably, critical analysis has paid little attention to the interconnections between racism, sexism, and speciesism—and almost no attention to ways that difference affects nonhuman animals. Drawing on work in animal studies…
Transpolitical Spaces in Transnational French Cinemas
Historically conceived as a ‘welcoming land’ ( terre d’accueil), postcolonial France evokes a threshold of tolerance ( seuil de tolérance) in relation to immigrants and refugees. This article considers the illusions of universal citizenship, alongside the illusions of national borders, by examining the ‘terror’ evoked by the transnational figure of the vampire within relations between France and Franco-Maghrebis in transnational French cinemas. L…

Migrations and Mediations
Amidst the paralyzing and polarizing effects of the Cold War, Frances Flaherty inaugurated an annual film seminar in memory of her late husband. Rather than inflame accusations and fuel paranoia, the seminar activated introspection and transformed expectations among its participants. Curated by Chi-hui Yang of the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival, the fifty-fourth annual Robert Flaherty Film Seminar addressed the migration…
Absorbed by Love
Since the mass immigration from the former Soviet Union, Israeli print media, television and film have scrutinised the morality and Zionist commitment of “the Russians”. This scrutiny engendered stereotypes of the new immigrants as threatening the allegedly unified Israeli‐Jewish identity. This article examines the discourse of “Russian” immigration in Israeli cinema as located at the nexus of gender, nation and ethnicity. We examine two recent f…

"Just play yourself, "Maggie Cheung
Olivier Assayas's 1996 film Irma Vep is a comedy about French filmmaking in an era when first-world conceptions of ‘film auteurs’ and ‘national cinemas’ had long since been destabilized by the complexities of postcolonial nationalisms, television coproductions, and unprecedented global flows of people and capital. The film's comedy pivots on the casting of a Hong Kong star in the lead role in a highly disunified remake of Louis Feuillade's silent…
