An Evening with Hala Alabdalla and Omar Amiralay

The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York

A screening of the documentary Light and Shadows, The Last of the Pioneers: Nazih Shahbandar


sintesi del comunicato stampa

A screening of the documentary Nuron wa Thilal (Light and Shadows, The Last of the Pioneers: Nazih Shahbandar) (1991), which Amiralay codirected with Mohammad Malas and Oussama Mohammad. This portrait of Nazih Shahbandar illuminates his role as a pioneer of Arab cinema production in the 1930s and 1940s. He wrote scripts, built sets, set up a studio fitted with film equipment that was almost entirely of his own fabrication, produced and directed the first Syrian film with sound, and chased his dream of making a 3-D film. This documentary is an ode both to the man and to early Arab cinema, and it provides a fitting prelude to a conversation with two of the most influential and inventive artists of the region during recent decades. As the general director of Ramad Films, Amiralay's France-based production company, Hala Alabdalla has executive-produced many of Amiralay's films.
