ArteEast and The Museum of Modern Art launch Mapping Subjectivity: Experimentation in Arab Cinema, 1960s – Now, a three-year program of annual screenings of groundbreaking films and videos, celebrated masterworks, and modern cinema from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Morocco, Syria and more, beginning this fall.
This in-depth initiative aims to map the largely unknown heritage of personal, artistic, and innovative cinema from the Arab world. In the 1960s, galvanized by a broader global vanguard of countercultural experimentation in the arts, filmmakers in these countries began to craft a language and form that broke away from established conventions and commercial considerations, ultimately clearing the ground for boldly subjective cinematic expressions.
The Museum will screen each annual exhibition at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters and selections of the program will travel to the Abu Dhabi Film Festival and Tate Modern in London, and subsequently tour throughout the Middle East and internationally. Mapping Subjectivity is a collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art and ArteEast, and is organized by Jytte Jensen, Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art, and Rasha Salti, Curator and Artistic Director, ArteEast.

Groundbreaking Showcase of Lebanese Cinema
May 5 - 15, 2010
In the past two decades, Lebanon has moved into the forefront of contemporary Arab cinema, producing international hits (West Beirut, The Kite, Falafel, Caramel) and provocative experimental works. Although Lebanese cinema dates to the Thirties, the experiences of the Civil War (1975-1990) jump-started production, as filmmakers tried to make sense—historically, politically, and emotionally—of the violence engulfing their country. Recent films deal with a new Lebanon trying to re-define itself for the 21st century. Several filmmakers will be in attendance; a panel discussion on Lebanese cinema will take place on May 9. |

Curated by ArteEast
May 4 - 25, 2010
It can be argued that the generation of Lebanese filmmakers who experienced the country’s civil war (1975–1990) also saw the country’s cinema come into its own as a medium for artistic expression and exploration. The lived experience of violence and the trauma of a civil conflict inspired the emergence of a politically-engaged auteur cinema where subjectivity—rather than objectivity—found a voice, a language in film. The films in this program illustrate how filmmakers from this and subsequent generations have attempted to transpose the complexity of experience through the singular poetics of film.
