  • Faten Hamama and Hind Rustom: Stars from Different Heavens
    24 al-raida Issue 122 - 123 | Summer / Fall 2008 Faten Hamama and Hind Rustom: Stars from Different Heavens Jean Said Makdissi One of the current topics in critical discussions on the Arab cinema is the gendered nature of nationalist and national themes. It has been repeatedly said that in the Egyptian cinema, Egypt itself is often represented by an idealized woman. Both Viola Shafik (1998) and Lina Khatib (2006) make much of this idea, and investigate it with reference to particular films. In this context the idealizing title sayidat al-shasha al-arabiyya, (i.e. the lady of the Arab screen) has been universally granted to Faten Hamama, the grande dame of the Egyptian cinema and one of the most prolific of its actresses, and thus she is the ideal embodiment on the screen not only of Egyptian and Arab womanhood, but also of Egypt’s view of itself and of the Arab world. To study the output of Faten Hamama is to have an idea of how Egyptians – and perhaps all Arabs – like to see themselves, and especially their women. But to arrive at a clearer idea of the self-definition of the Arab world and its fantasy of the feminine ideal I believe it would be helpful to contrast her work with that of Hind Rustom, who both in her physical appearance and the persona she represents on screen is almost directly antithetical to Faten. In preparation for this article I have seen more than two dozen films, and of course drawn on decades of experience with the Egyptian cinema.

While historically defensible, in that Egypt preceded these others in having its own studios and industry, such an assessment nonetheless tends to foreclose on the possibilities for those films inhabiting the “non-Egyptian” model ever be accorded the status of popular cinema. Moreover, where local distribution and exhibition for North African films has been historically partial or non-existent (due to commercial decisions that have historically favored Egyptian, Indian, and Euro-American productions), it has been difficult for many directors in countries like Morocco to avoid the charge that their films—which are often more visible in European festivals than at home—are made for other markets or audiences. Whether in sympathy with the idea of distinctive local or national cinemas and resistance to cultural hegemony, or in suspicion of the politics of international funding and coproduction, many critical treatments of non-Egyptian Arab films make of the popular an evaluative term that signifies local authenticity and a resistance towards European art cinema tendencies and that privileges commercial success over experimentation.

You will not see listed familiar works such as “The Battle of Algiers” but instead those that deserve wider attention, the proverbial neglected masterpieces. They originate from different countries and are available through Internet streaming, either freely from Youtube or through Netflix or Amazon rental. In several instances you will be referred to film club websites that like the films under discussion deserve wider attention since they are the counterparts to the small, independent theaters where such films get premiered. The country of origin, date and director will be identified next ot the title, followed by a summary of the film, and finally by its availability.

  • The History of Egyptian Cinema
    THE HISTORY OF EGYPTIAN CINEMA The first commercial movie in the world was a silent movie for The Lumière brothers. It was screened in December 1895 in the Indian saloon, Grand Café, Caposeen st. Paris. The films of the Lumière Brothers were screened in Egypt soon after their debut in Europe in 1896 at the prestigious cafés of Cairo, Alexandria and Port Said. This is how the Egyptian short documentary industry has started Feature films, on the other hand, haven’t existed till the year 1917 when an Italian Egyptian Production company produced two feature films: The Honor of the Bedouin (Charaf el badawî) and The Deadly Flowers (el Azhâr el momîtah). However, Historians cannot agree on setting a certain date for the beginning of the Egyptian cinema. Some say that the real start was the screening of the first Egyptian movie back in 1896. Others mark the beginning of the Egyptian Cinema with the shooting of the first short documentary silent movie in the 20th of June 1907 about the visit of Khedive Abbas Hilmi II to the Institute of Mursi Abul‐Abbas in Alexandria. In 1927, two of the most famous movies in the early history of the Egyptian cinema were produced and screened. The first film was called A Kiss in the Desert and the other was called Layla, starred by the first actress in the history of Egyptian Cinematography, Aziza Emir. Egypt’s first film with sound was The nobles’ sons starring legendary actors Youssef Wahba and Amina Rezk and produced in 1932. The same year witnessed the first musical film starring for the first time a female singer, Nadera.

Accordingly, this study proposes the notion of anti-blackness to examine color-based discrimination in Egypt. By identifying anti-blackness as part of a multilayered socio-cultural process, this research engages with the historical, social, and cultural factors that led to its development. This research also explores the implications of anti-blackness on black people living in Egypt. A sample of media is analyzed using the critical discourse analysis (CDC) method to observe the portrayal of black people in Egyptian media. This study concludes that the historical development of social stigma and cultural stereotypes around blackness has led to anti-blackness in Egyptian society.
