“The June 1967 defeat was tantamount to an alarm bell that aroused the dormant Arab consciousness from its long slumber; it awakened the Arabs from their dreaming, shaking their faith in all the nationalistic slogans and bringing into question the ability of the military regimes to fulfill the duties they had taken unto themselves and had so loftily and widely declared.”This was Tunisian filmmaker Nouri Bouzid’s introduction to his analysis of post-1967 Arab cinema in ​‘New Realism in Arab Cinema: the Defeat-Conscious Cinema’. The loss of the Arab armies against Israel that year, and the ensuing disillusionment with Pan-Arab unity,…
