Middle Eastern and North African Cinema

This group collects the World and International Narrative Cinema subcategory's members whose primary country of origin is Iran, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia or Palestine, read from the member's own recorded Country fact or its description text. Turkey and Iran are filed here following the conventional world-cinema-festival classification of this dataset's own sample, an editorial choice rather than a cited external standard, documented so a later reviewer can revisit it; the group spans the Iranian New Wave, Egyptian classic-era cinema and the Algerian War-era political films.
