This panel, co-organised with Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), focused on the role that representations of femininities, masculinities, and sexualities in media and cultural productions play in maintaining or challenging stereotypes, and the gendered norms and regimes that these give rise to. Drawing on feminist approaches to media and cultural studies, speakers will discuss how different media forms, ranging from traditional print to film, advertising, and digital media have shaped gendered discourses and, relatedly, feminist thinking and praxes in the Middle East. Dalia Said Mostafa is Associate Professor on the Women, Society & Development Programme, Hamad Bin Khalifa University. On this panel she will discuss 'Women's Formidable Role and Influence in the Making of Arab Cinema'. Polly Withers is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the LSE Middle East Centre. On this panel she will discuss 'Problematising feminist media studies from the Middle East: Gendering media in Palestine'. Amal Al-Malki is the Founding Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Qatar Foundation. Before that, she was the Executive Director of the Translation and Interpreting Institute, which she founded in 2011. She also was an Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar where she taught courses in writing composition, postcolonial literature, theories of translation, and Islamic feminism. Marc Owen Jones is an Associate Professor of Middle East Studies at Hamad bin Khalifa University, where he lectures and researches on political repression and informational control strategies. His recent work has focused on the way social media has been used to spread disinformation and fake news in the Middle East. Sophie Richter-Devroe is Associate Professor in the Women, Society and Development Program at the College of Humanities and Social Science, Hamad Bin Khalifa University. Sophie's broad research interests are in the field of everyday politics and women's activism in the Middle East. https://www.lse.ac.uk/middle-east-centre/events/2023/feminist-media-studies-middle-east

END AD---" "ar's event marks the first as festival director for Egyptian filmmaker Amir Ramses, who was appointed earlier this year, as well as industry head Reem Allam. Ramses was tapped just weeks after Egyptian producer Mohamed Hefzy stepped down as festival president, after a four-year tenure in which he helped to revamp the long-running event. Hefzy was particularly instrumental in expanding the fest's international reach, bolstering ties with counterparts overseas, and launching an industry component that has quickly established itself as one of the leading platforms for filmmakers from the region. The festival's 44th edition, which runs until Nov. 22, unspools amid a crowded fall calendar of Arab fests, running parallel to Marrakech (Nov. 11 – 19) and on the eve of Saudi Arabia's splashy Red Sea Film Festival, which hosts its second edition in Jeddah from Dec. 1 – 10. Meanwhile, Egypt's El Gouna Film Festival, which for five years had occupied a late-October slot and brought a touch of star power to the Red Sea resort town, was put on pause this year. Its future is uncertain. Speaking to Variety on the eve of opening night, Ramses — who was the artistic director in El Gouna from 2017-2021 — described a spirit of healthy competition among the region's festivals, who he sees less as rivals than collaborators working toward a common goal of bolstering Arab cinema. “We're talking on a weekly basis about where we are, how we can support each other,” he said. “It's not about taking the lead. You can't build the region on one strong festival. We complement each other.” In his first year in Cairo, Ramses has nevertheless been keen to secure the kind of lineup that helped land El Gouna on the map. Along with the regional premiere of “The Fabelmans,” he's helped attract a strong slate of titles already making waves on the international festival circuit. Among the films celebrating regional premieres in Cairo are Carla Simón's Berlin Golden Bear Winner “Alcarràs”; Alice Diop's Venice Grand Jury Prize and Lion of the Future award winner “Saint Omer”; Alejandro Loayza Grisi's Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner “Utama”; Sally El Hosaini's Toronto opening film “The Swimmers”; and a host of award winners from this year's Cannes Film Festival, including Lukas Dhont's Grand Prix winner “Close,” Jerzy Skolimowski's Jury Prize-winning “EO” and Riley Keough and Gina Gammell Camera d'Or winner “War Pony.” At the same time, the longest continually running showcase of Arab cinema will look to shine a spotlight on the region's emerging and established talents. In the international competition, Egyptian director Ahmad Abdalla's “19B,” which celebrates its world premiere, will screen among 14 titles vying for the festival's Golden Pyramid, including Lebanese director Ali Cherri's Cannes Directors' Fortnight player “The Dam.” Ahmad Abdalla's “19B” has its world premiere in the festival's international competition.
