I'm revamping a course on the middle east on film for the spring, and I
wanted to ask for any "favorite" recommendations--readings or films or
approaches.
Currently, I'm starting with Lawrence of Arabia and Battle of Algiers.
Then, I have popular films from Egypt, Turkey, and Iran. A section on
imprisonment: Duvar, Wedding in Galilee, and Beyond the Walls). A section
on Gender, Sexuality, and the Family, (Kadosh, Man of Ashes, ?). And
finally, disapora/transnational productions: Turtles Can Fly, Border Cafe,
and ?.
I'm using a course pack since I cannot find a book that covers enough
material.
Thanks for any idea or complications,
Brian
