u003cpu003eThis volume compares the cinemas of Iran and Turkey in terms of the presence and absence of women on both sides of the camera.

This is followed by the exploration of the images of women on screen with attention to minority women, investigating post-traumatic cinema's approaches to women (Islamic Revolution of 1979 in Iran and the 1980 coup d'état in Turkey) and women's interpretations of post-traumatic experiences. Furthermore, the representations of sexualities and LGBTI identities within cultural, traditional and state-imposed restrictions are also discussed. Investigating border-crossing in physical and metaphorical terms, the research explores the hybridities in the artistic expressions of 'deterritorialized' film-makers negotiating loyalties to both u003ciu003evatanu003c/iu003e (motherland) and the adopted country. u003c/pu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cpu003eThis comprehensive analysis of the cinemas of Iran and Turkey, based on extensive research, fieldwork, interviews and viewing of countless films is a key resource for students and scholars interested in film, gender and cultural studies and the Middle East.u003c/pu003e
