WITH this tribute to the renowned Palestinian film-maker Mai Masri, regarded as one of the Arab world’s most important contemporary female directors, Victoria Brittain provides a stunning account of her as an artist, a woman, a friend and activist.
The book is not a mere biography of an extraordinary life and cinematic achievement but also an
account of the fraught realities of a generation affected by and resisting Israeli’s wars in Beirut as well as its occupation of Palestine.
