AlbakiReads Editorial A reference map to filmmaking across the Arab Middle East
A reference map to filmmaking across the Arab Middle East
Roy Armes assembles a wide-ranging film reference focused on Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and the Gulf States. The volume traces regional filmmaking from silent-era beginnings through state-supported work, independent production, and politically engaged documentary practice. Its three-part arrangement combines filmmaker biographies and feature-film records with country-focused entries on key features, then closes with English- and French-language title indexes listing directors, dates, and countries of origin. With coverage extending from more than 550 feature films to short and documentary work by hundreds of additional filmmakers, it is structured for both targeted fact-finding and broader exploration of a regional cinema history.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Film students and researchers seeking a regional reference source
- Readers studying Arab Middle Eastern cinema and filmmakers
- Library users needing filmographies, biographical entries, and title indexes

In this landmark dictionary, Roy Armes details the scope and diversity of filmmaking across the Arab Middle East. Listing more than 550 feature films by more than 250 filmmakers, and short and documentary films by another 900 filmmakers, this volume covers the film production in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and the Gulf States. An introduction by Armes locates film and filmmaking traditions in the region from early efforts in the silent era to state-funded productions by isolated filmmakers and politically engaged documentarians. Part 1 lists biographical information about the filmmakers and their feature films. Part 2 details key feature films from the countries represented. Part 3 indexes feature-film titles in English and French with details about the director, date, and country of origin.
