Offers the first study about Jocelyne Saab (1948-2019), a Lebanese pioneer of Arab cinema
Offers a cohesive study of her oeuvre, both filmic, activist and artistic
Positions Saab's work as central to the development of world cinema, and not only in the Arab world
Provides a comprehensive and fresh study of her work, bringing together scholars from across the globe
Jocelyne Saab was one of the most important female filmmakers pioneering a sense of international emancipatory world cinema from the early 1970s to her death in 2019. This book is the first English-language study dedicated to her entire oeuvre which consisted of journalism, documentaries, experimental and feature films, as well as photography, art exhibitions and curation, and film festival organisation.
In this book, a range of international scholars integrates her work into a cohesive study of all aspects of her oeuvre filmic, activist and artistic representing the global significance of Saab's work and the ongoing resonance of her ideals and activism in a worldwide perspective.
