Transmodern Cinema and Decolonial Film Theory

<b>In this book Robert K. Beshara applies decolonial film theory to an analysis of Youssef Chahine's (1997) <i>A</i><i>l-Masir (Destiny).</i></b><br/><br/><i>Transmodern Cinema and Decolonial Film Theory</i>is the first book on decolonial film theory which unpacks key concepts in decoloniality and decolonial aesthetics. Decolonial film theory is then applied to Youssef Chahine's (1997) historical drama <i>al-Ma</i><i>?</i><i>ir</i> in an effort to juxtapose the Egyptian filmmaker (Chahine) and his decolonial cinema to the Andalusian polymath (Ibn Rushd) and his Islamic philosophy.
