This book offers a transnational, internationalist-feminist approach to the oeuvre of award-winning director, writer, and curator, Annemarie Jacir. Palestinian film culture is unique due to its geopolitical circumstances, including continued colonialism and occupation, and the refugeeship of its citizens. The scholarship on the politics of film and its role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

including activist work, international solidarity films, and work on Palestinian documentaries

is usually defined by historical overviews of geopolitical events and developments. In contrast, this book offers an auteur-focused study of a global artist influenced by but not limited to the political discourse surrounding the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Jacir is a Palestinian woman whose work is recognised globally as innovative, politically challenging, and genre-crossing. The book offers an in-depth study of her films and other works by locating it in a geospatial, sociocultural, and critical theoretical framework. It critically analyses Annemarie Jacir's development as an artist, filmmaker, and curator of film.

Reviews for ReFocus: The Films of Annemarie Jacir

""This is a well-documented study which offers an intimate vision of the evolution of Jacir's film oeuvre, and how Palestinian cinema and audio-visual practices can become acts of resistance exposing the incongruous cultural memories of diverse Palestinian generations and their struggles for the homeland, freedom, and transnational identity in exile."" -Ihab Saloul, Author of Catastrophe and Exile in the Modern Palestinian Imagination: Telling Memories
