1/29/2021

Picture
Given the recent new wave of Arab cinema, bolstered by co-productions and initiatives around the world, particularly in film festivals, this panel aims to examine the recent wave of Arab films in international film festivals through the lens of a pan-Arab renaissance. Recent co-production initiatives, transnational talent development and pan-Arab distribution, in particular, are defying national borders and are reinvigorating and redefining preconceived notions of what constitutes Arab cinema.

Moderator: Karam Masri, Filmmaker, TAF Co-founder & Artistic Director
Speakers:
  • Christina Piovesan, Producer & President of First Generation Films
  • Dr. Walid El Kachab, Associate Professor, Arabic Studies, York University
  • Viviane Saglier, Post Doctoral Fellow, Department of Anthropology and Institute for the Study of International Development (ISID), McGill University
