Title Summary
Utilizing a somewhat arbitrary definition of exactly what countries constitute North Africa and the Middle East (for example, a number of Central Asian countries are included, but Sudan and Somalia are not), this encyclopedia offers entries explaining the history of cinema in specific countries, presents brief biographies of important directors and actors, and provides filmographies that include synopses and key personnel. The material is arranged by region and covers mostly culturally Islamic countries (although Israeli film is given significant treatment). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
