Description
This
 book project unfolds and analyzes the work of Moroccan director, 
producer, and scriptwriter Farida Benlyazid, whose career extends from 
the beginning of cinema in independent Morocco to the present. This 
study of her work and career provides a unique perspective on an 
under-represented cinema, the gender politics of cinema in Morocco, and 
the contribution of Arab women directors to global cinema and to a 
gendered understanding of Muslim ethics and aesthetics in film.
 
A
 pioneer in Moroccan cinema, Farida Benlyazid has been successful at 
negotiating the sometimes abrupt turns of Morocco's rocky 20th century 
history: from Morocco under French occupation to the advent of Moroccan 
independence in 1956; the end of the international status of Tangier, 
her native city, in 1959; the "years of lead" under the reign of Hassan 
II; and finally Mohamed VI's current reign since 1999. As a result, she 
has a long view of Morocco's politics of self-representation as well as 
of the representation of Moroccan women on screen
