Essay On Media In Urdu

[Vivien]

Infall 2021, I took a class called Palestinian Cinema. In this class, we watched and analyzed Palestinian short films and feature films weekly. To accompany our film studies, we learned various elements of video editing and sound mixing, in order to create a final project: a structured academic videographic essay on a topic of our choice concerning one or more films we watched in class.

Elia Suleiman is a critically acclaimed Palestinian film writer/director, popular for his mutist style with non-linear narratives. His films Chronicle of a Disappearance (1997) and Divine Intervention (1994) are both mustist, nonlinear films with traces of absurdism, which represents the absurd nature of the occupation of the Israeli people in Palestine. While Israel has destroyed many archives containing Palestinian art and history, Chronicle of a Disappearance and Divine Intervention use both art and historical accounts (both films are somewhat autobiographical) to portray Palestinian trauma.

In my videographic essay, Distance, I will audiovisually explore the cinematic techniques Suleiman uses in these two films to immerse the audience in an experience that forces them to empathize with Palestinian life under occupation. Suleiman uses framing techniques to separate himself from the scene unraveling before him, which also creates distance between the audience and the world of the film. By distancing himself and the audience from the world of the scenes, especially in the Nazareth chapters of each film, he incites the audience to empathize with his relationship to his hometown as well as empathize with the liminality of the Palestinian people.

Today, anime (animation) fans across the world interact and engage with each other through social media and other forms of mass media, creating global fan communities. Japanese anime first came to the attention of Egyptian children and teens in the 1990s, when Arabic dubbed versions of the animated television programs Mazinger-Z and Grindizer aired on the national television network. Japanese anime immediately had a significant influence on Egyptian children, and rapidly gained popularity throughout the Arab world and the Middle East.
