Knights of Cinema: The Story of the Palestine Film Unit de Khadijeh Habashneh

Knights of Cinema: The Story of the Palestine Film Unit: Palgrave Studies in Arab Cinema

Autor Khadijeh Habashneh Traducere de Samirah Alkassim, Nadine Fattaleh
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 iun 2023
This book is an account of the creation of the Palestine Film Unit (PFU) and the stories of its founding members, from the initial development of a photography department in the early years of the Palestinian revolution (1967-1968) to its evolution in the mid-1970s into the Palestinian Cinema Institution. Author Khadijeh Habashneh weaves her own memories into excerpts from letters and other communications of survivors, friends and PFU members, accompanied by scholarly analysis of  the work and contributions of this remarkable film movement from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. As such, this book offers a unique perspective on this aspect of Palestine film history - which ended in mid-1980s with the loss of its archive - providing details that have not been previously published in English.
