Project description
The role of film in Iraq
Iraqis witnessed the emergence of modern leisure and entertainment, including cinema, at the start of the 20th century, as part of a global phenomenon. While Iraqi film production grew nationally, its presence on the world stage was not significant. The EU-funded ICBS project will put the spotlight on the transnational circulation of cultural and material objects like film. It will examine how these objects came together to expand leisure and entertainment in Iraq. The project’s findings will help grow our knowledge about early cinema in Iraq and elsewhere as well as the opportunities and conflicts that surfaced in Iraq in the 20th century.
