INSTRUCTIONS

Select a film from the list that follows and discuss how it portrays the Middle East and its people. You should present this discussion with reference to the concept of Orientalism and any other themes encountered during the course of the trimester that might be relevant to your chosen film. (For example History, Politics, Foreign Policy).

In this exercise we are seeking an insightful analysis of the ways in which the Middle East, its inhabitants and its landscapes are represented in the film and the ways in which the producers may or may not be perpetuating stereotypes (either negative or positive). You should not spend too much of your essay simply summarising the film’s plot as this does not address the question.

Alternative films, which are not on the list, can be selected but only with the approval of the Unit Chair.
