Hi All,

 

I'm writing from Women Make Movies, the leading nonprofit distributor of
films by and about women. I thought the members of this listserv would
be interested in our newest release, KISMET, a captivating educational
resource that filmmaker Al Jazeera calls "an inspirational film." KISMET
is a fantastic addition to classrooms, organizations and libraries
focused on Muslim & Islam Studies, Anthropology, Sociology,
Communications & Media, Women's Studies, Film & Television Studies. To
celebrate this release, WMM is offering a special promotion of 50% off a
related collection when you buy KISMET at list price.*

 

I'm including some additional info on KISMET and the related special
offer. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and thanks as
always for supporting independent women filmmakers!

 

KISMET

< http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c872.shtml>

 

Wildly popular at home, Turkish soap operas have taken the world by
storm with over 300 million viewers in 80 countries across the Middle
East, North Africa, the Balkans, and Asia. With unprecedented access,
Kismet delves into this phenomenon, weaving together excerpts from the
major shows including interviews with their talent and the writers,
producers and directors behind the scenes-primarily made up of women-and
portraits of the everyday viewers in Turkey, Egypt, the United Arab
Emirates, Bulgaria, and Greece. 


Exploring how the serials captivate, inspire and empower women, the film
reveals how the soaps impact and break down negative stereotypes and
traditional taboos. The soaps openly discuss rape, sexual and domestic
violence, child and arranged marriages, and honor killings while also
sparking change in gender relationships, activism against sexual abuse,
and a wave of divorce across the Middle East. Invaluable for studies in
media and popular culture, Kismet discloses how profoundly Turkish soaps
penetrate viewers' social and religious realities while empowering and
helping women to transform their lives and strengthen the debate about
women's rights across the region.
