Julian Samuel | I am a film-maker, writer and visual
artist.
My documentaries on Orientalism examine the
historical and contemporary relationship between the West, the
Middle East and Asia. They include: 'The Raft of the Medusa: Five
voices on colonies nations and histories'; 'Into the European
Mirror'; 'City of the Dead and the World Exhibitions' and 'Lettres
du caire'.
My recent documentaries, 'The
Library in Crisis' (2002) and 'Save and Burn' (2004), look at
the relationship between libraries and democracy; and 'Atheism'
(2006) looks at religion and politics.
I have published: Lone Ranger
in Pakistan, The Raft of the Medusa; Into the European Mirror
(transcripts and commentaries); and Passage to Lahore, a novel.
Radius Islamicus / Dark Interloper of the Eastern Trade is my
novel-in-progess.
I was artist in residence at
The Banff Center in 1993 and 1998. I have a master's degree in
Fine Arts from Concordia University and have lectured at Concordia
and John Abbott College in cinema and film studies.
