as someone who is fully egyptian, i love being able to find different pieces of arab film but unless i am not looking correctly it seems as though criterion only carries so few arab films. i bought cairo station and fell in love with that film and the rest of chaine’s filmography yet cairo station is one of the 4 films that are released in the criterion collection and only about 20 on the criterion channel. it definitely does bum me out a bit because there are so many unique, arab pieces that don’t get recognized. is there a bigger reason as to why the are so little arab films in the criterion collection?
