- Abstract
The article discusses the efforts to promote the serious study of Arab cinema and film scholarship at the Insaniyyat Forum 2022 in Tunisia. The forum included eight panels on various topics related to Arab cinema, such as critiques of orientalism, refugee and migration cinema, and queer Arab film theory. The article also highlights five papers from the forum that challenge prevailing understandings of Arab cinema, including discussions on language, US cultural hegemony, cultural diplomacy, queer theory, and displacement in Tunisian film. The authors hope that these articles will contribute to a more vibrant and inclusive discussion of Arab cinema and its dilemmas.
