Abstract	"The career of Moroccan filmmaker Moumen Smihi (b. 1945) spans nearly fifty years yet, like so many important Arab filmmakers, his films are not well-known in the Anglophone world. Limbrick's book, the first extensive study of his work, places Smihi within the context of Moroccan, Arab, and world cinema, revealing how the filmmaker creates a traffic of images and ideas between Arab and non-Arab cinemas and cultures. In tracing other Arab experiments with modernism, the book considers the historical phenomenon of the Nahda, the "Arab Renaissance" of the nineteenth and early-twentieth century, when Arab writers and artists re-energized Arab culture by engaging with other languages and societies, especially Europe. Showing how Smihi takes up the challenge and the spirit of the Nahda for a new age, Limbrick argues that we can't understand the importance of Arab film to global cinematic modernisms without reference to Smihi's radically beautiful work.
