Individual film directors, film-makers; Cinema industry

Updated collections of recent interviews with filmmakers whose

works represent trends in the film industries of Central Asia and the

Middle East, these two new geospecific editions expand upon the earlier

volume Cinemas of the Other: A Personal Journey with Film-Makers from the Middle East and Central Asia. Following an introduction delineating the histories

of the film industries of the countries that make up the Middle East and

Central Asia—including Iran, Turkey, and the Central Asian republics of

Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan—both

books contain interviews stretching over a decade, which position the

filmmakers and their creative concerns within the social or political

context of their respective countries. The striking variety of

approaches toward each interview creates a rich diversity of tone and

opens the door to a better understanding of images of “otherness” in

film. In addition to transcripts of the interviews, each chapter also

includes stills from important films discussed, biographical information

about the filmmakers, and filmographies of their works. Gönül

Dönmez-Colin offers in these expanded editions a carefully researched

and richly detailed firsthand account of the developments and trends in

these regional film industries that is sure to be appreciated by film

scholars and researchers of the Middle East and Central Asia.
