Moroccan film production has increased rapidly since the late 2000s, and Morocco is a thriving service production hub for international film and television. Taking a transnational approach to Moroccan cinema, this book examines diversity in its production models, its barriers to international distribution and success, its key markets and audiences, as well as the consequences of digital disruption upon it.

He has published widely on cinemas of the Maghreb and their diasporas, as well as questions of national and transnational cinema. He is the author of Post-Beur Cinema (2013) and co-editor of De-Westernizing Film Studies (2012). Florence Martin is the Van Meter Professor of French Transnational Studies at Goucher College (US).
