Summary:

"Gaza On Screen considers the role of screens, both large and small, in the circulation of visual representations of Gaza. Gaza has been instrumentalized, ignored, and magnified by regional and global actors, and its film and media production has played a central role in both solidarity activism and militarism. The essays--from anthropologists, sociologists, media studies, and literature scholars--consider solidarity broadcasts on Lebanese television, British Pathe newsreels, the subversive potential of found footage films from Gaza, and situate the visuals of contemporary militant resistance in a long tradition of Palestinian visual politics. Gaza On Screen examines the material conditions surrounding production and circulation, mediation, and the relationship of the virtual to lived experiences within the Gaza Strip. The book also includes a round table discussion with Palestinian filmmakers on film making from and about Gaza that centers attachments to place and community amidst exile and trauma and contingency"-- Provided by publisher.
