Abstract:The articles in this special issue of 'The Journal of North African Studies' on North African cinema all deal, in one way or another, with the relationship between cultural politics internal to North African (Algerian, Moroccan, Tunisian) society and its relation to an 'outside'. This outside is at times France, the old colonial power, and sometimes, increasingly, a more expansive, globalizing and hegemonic cultural and political force that both frees and restricts the production of North African cinema. The 'outside' is manifested as both imaginary, in geographical flights as well as flights of fantasy, and very material. Contributions: Moroccan cinema and the promotion of culture (Kevin Dwyer); 'Marock' in Morocco: reading Moroccan films in the age of circulation (Brian T. Edwards); Sexual allegories of national identity in Nouri Bouzid's 'Bezness' (1992) (Robert Lang); The myth of masculinity in the films of Merzak Allouache (Andrea Khalil); The modern harem in Moknèche's 'Le harem de Mme Osmane' and 'Viva Laldjérie' (Hakim Abderrezak); 'Ali Zaoua': the harsh life of street children and the poetics of childhood (Josef Gugler).
