'Making Film in Egypt' provides a fascinating glimpse into the lived reality of commercial film production in today?s Cairo, with an emphasis on labor hierarchies, production practices, and the recent transition to digital technologies. Drawing on in-depth interviews and participant observation among production workers, on-set technicians, and artistic crew members, Chihab El Khachab sets out to answer a simple question: how do filmmakers deal with the unpredictable future of their films? The answer unfolds through a journey across the industry's political economy, its labor processes, its technological infrastructure, its logistical and artistic work, and its imagined audiences. The result is a complex and nuanced portrait of the Arab world's largest film industry, rich in ethnographic detail and theoretical innovations in media anthropology, media studies, and Middle East anthropology. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 255-267) and index. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $t Retrospective. $t Labor, Process, and Technology -- $t Mediating Futures -- $t What Comes Next -- $t Inside Immobilia -- $g 6. $t Industry -- $t Into the New Millennium -- $t An Interpersonal Political Economy -- $t Local Models of the Industry -- $t "Let's See ..." -- $g 2. $t Process -- $t Labor Hierarchies -- $t Apprenticeship -- $t Operational Sequence -- $t Ways of Making Films -- $t Paper, Phone, Laptop -- $g 3. $t Reserves -- $t On Tiknulujya -- $t Commodity-Objects -- $t Reserves -- $t Work Time and Technology -- $t Time and Budget -- $g 4. $t Coordination -- $t Budgeting -- $t Scheduling -- $t Transportation -- $t Avoiding Delays -- $t Being Available and Being Faultless -- $t Logistical Mediation -- $t Pre-light -- $g 5. $t Visualization -- $t Skill, Authority, and Vision -- $t Scouting -- $t Image Composition -- $t Sound Work -- $t Visual Mediation -- $t First Cut -- $g 6. $t Enchantment -- $t Imagined Audiences -- $t Enchantment -- $t The Unspoken Audience -- $t Empirical Audiences -- $t The Afterparty -- $t Retrospective. 650 0 $a Cinematography. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Production and direction. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Egypt $x History. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Production and direction $z Egypt. 650 7 $a Motion pictures $x Production and direction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027357 650 7 $a Cinematography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861484 650 7 $a Motion picture industry $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027150 650 7 $a Motion pictures $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 $a Work in motion pictures $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01905198 651 7 $a Egypt $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208755 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015937.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=00EA87E25F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
