There are two essays to be written- Each essay should be 3-4-pages in length with MLA citations. The essay requires a clearly stated thesis, a body that proves your argument, with supporting quotes from academic sources, and a conclusion.
Please support your arguments using readings from the class and outside research. When using outside sources of information, be sure to cite correctly.
(double-spaced, 12-point font, 1500-2000 words).
1. In countries such as Iran and Afghanistan, the dominant ideology is arguably defined by Islamic values. How do filmmakers from these countries address and interrogate those values. Using these two films from the region i.e. Offside by Jafar Panahi and Kandahar by Ric Roman Waugh, describe and argue how these films address such important Islamic values as (a) “hijab” (modesty and women’s veiling), (b) patriarchy, and (c) religion/Islam.
Consider these three areas the body paragraphs of the essay. Do these films simply reflect a one-sided positive view of these values, or do they question them or criticize them? Be sure to use the readings to substantiate points, citing direct quotations from reliable sources, film reviews, etc.
2. Contrast Hollywood’s treatment of one of these countries -Iran, Israel, Palestine with an indigenous film made from inside that country i.e. “Munich” vs “Paradise Now”. Describe and argue concrete ways in which the films are different, in terms of how they represent (a) the people, (b) the places/settings, and (c) the ideology of that culture.
Consider these three elements to be the main body paragraphs of your essay. Be sure to use readings or outside film reviews and other academic sources from to substantiate your points, citing direct quotations from sources.
