SUMMARY:The Fluid Gulf: Framing Multicultural Heritage Through Film
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_247755" align="alignnone" width="300"] 
 The Fluid Gulf: Framing Multicultural Heritage Through Film Event Promotio
 nal Image[/caption]\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nWASHINGTON\, DC \n\nStories of desert l
 andscapes\, cutting-edge production facilities\, and lavish festivals of
 ten dominate narratives about film and digital media on the Arabian Penins
 ula. However\, the newly released anthology Reorienting the Middle East: F
 ilm and Digital Media Where the Persian Gulf\, Arabian Sea\, and Indian Oc
 ean Meet  (Indiana University Press\, 2024) reveals a more complicated h
 istory between the Gulf\, Arabian Sea\, and Indian Ocean. Just as these wa
 ters are fluid spaces\, so too is the flow of film and digital media betwe
 en Southwest and Southeast Asia\, South Asia\, North Africa\, East Africa\
 , and the United States. In this conversation\, Alia Yunis\, a co-editor o
 f the volume and AGSIW visiting scholar\, and Samhita Sunya\, a professor 
 at the University of Virginia\, will consider the role of Hollywood\, Boll
 ywood\, and Nollywood in past and current films made in and about the Gulf
 \; the Western oil companies that introduced film to the Gulf in the 193
 0s\; the first Gulf films produced on the Arabian Peninsula in the late 19
 60s\; Dubai’s emergence in global film production\; social media as a ve
 hicle for filmmaking\; and citizen and migrant amateur films that turn a
  lens on rarely discussed social issues.
