{"product_id":"9780253111111","title":"Beyond Casablanca: M. A. Tazi and the Adventure of Moroccan Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Beyond Casablanca, Kevin Dwyer explores the problems of creativity in\u003cbr\u003e the Arab and African world, focusing on Moroccan cinema and one of its key figures,\u003cbr\u003e filmmaker M. A. Tazi. Dwyer develops three themes simultaneously: the filmmaker's\u003cbr\u003e career and films; filmmaking in postcolonial Morocco; and the relationship between\u003cbr\u003e Moroccan cinema, Third World and Arab cinema, and the global film industry. This\u003cbr\u003e compelling discussion of Moroccan cinema is founded upon decades of anthropological\u003cbr\u003e research in Morocco, most recently on the Moroccan film sector and the global film\u003cbr\u003e industry, and exhibits a sensitivity to the cultural, political, social, and\u003cbr\u003e economic context of creative activity. The book centers on a series of interviews\u003cbr\u003e conducted with Tazi, whose career provides a rich commentary on the world of\u003cbr\u003e Moroccan cinema and on Moroccan cinema in the world. The interviews are framed,\u003cbr\u003e variously, by presentations of Moroccan history, society, and culture; the role of\u003cbr\u003e foreign filmmakers in Morocco; thematic discussions of cinematic issues (such as\u003cbr\u003e narrative techniques, the use of symbols, film as an expression of identity, and\u003cbr\u003e problems of censorship); and the global context of Third World filmmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101145186544,"sku":"9780253111111","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780253111111_p0.jpg?v=1763681131","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253111111","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
