Enchanting Mutineers: A Showcase of Independent Filmmakers from the Middle East and North Africa
Curated by Rasha Salti, co-presented by ArteEast
April 3 - 18, 2010
Much has been written about the emerging generation of independent filmmakers in the Arab world and Iran, their innovative spirit, daring cinematic approach, search for a language and rejection of market guidelines. In addition to earning critical acclaim to their makers, these films have played a crucial role in reclaiming the power of cinema in their societies, not only as a medium for artistic expression and exploration, but also, as occasions for critical debate of questions that are silenced, forgotten or over-run by official demagoguery. The diversity of style, genre and approach is thrilling, as such, "Enchanting Mutineers: A Showcase of Independent Filmmakers from the Middle East and North Africa" is intended as a showcase for audiences to discover these innovative talents, in fiction and non-fiction, and provide a platform for engagement with a more complex, intelligent and imaginative understanding of the region, its conflicts and wounds, no doubt working to debunk stereotypes and sound-bite perception of the Arab world and Iran. This side-bar showcase is jointly organised by the Festival and ArteEast, curated by Rasha Salti. |

January 30 - April 16, 2008
ArteEast, the Department of Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies and the Kevorkian Center at New York University are pleased to present a new season of films from the Middle East and its diasporas. The Spring season opens with an all-time 1944 classic of Egyptian cinema lovingly restored by Rotana TV, Love and Revenge. One of the earliest masterpieces of the Egyptian screen, the film is usually known for the tragic death of its star Asmahan before its completion. A special guest of CinemaEast this season is Swiss video artist Ursula Biemann, who will be presenting her award-winning work – Sahara Chronicle, a video collection documenting the present sub-Saharan exodus towards Europe and the interdependence of migrations with international politics of mobility. Recently selected and restored by Martin Scorcese and the World Cinema Foundation, Trances by Ahmed El Maanouni, a captivating exploration of the musical group Nass El Ghiwane, will be the focus of our March program. The season concludes in April with Caught in Between Two Worlds and Voices, highlighting the work of directors Persheng Sadegh-Vaziri and Simin Farkhondeh about the experiences of being Iranian in the United States today. |
