Le printemps arabe : les cas Tunisien & Égyptien

Abstract

Our work focuses on Arab films, and the political and social events and manifestations that affected them from 2010 to 2021. Among the most important of these events - for example - the Arab revolutions that began in Tunisia and shook the Arab world between 2010 and 2013, an important political and social event that brought about great changes at all levels in most Arab countries. This episode of history will be studied from the perspective of cinema. We chose to focus our study on two countries, Tunisia, and Egypt. The first because it is the origin of the movement that will then gradually spread to other countries, and the second because it is the most productive cinematically, both in terms of the films produced but also because of its widespread reach and influence. We suggest studying a group of films that presented specific political events such as revolutions and social changes in their different historical stages. After giving a certain number of items about what were the different movements and events that covered the Arab Spring and having quickly sketched out the features of the cinematic landscape, from its birth to today, in Egypt and Tunisia we will study a group of films that we believe are decisive in recreating the different stages of the "revolution" process. in these two countries. It will not be about striving for inclusiveness but highlighting the salient features in a few films that have been counted and will be counted in writing the history of these countries, as films will be considered “agents” of history. Use Marc Ferro’s equation, and at the end of the research we will try to evaluate the effects of various events, whether political or Social or even security for cinema in Egypt and Tunisia, with a brief study of the same situation in Arab countries other than these two.
