Abstract:

A selection of short documentary and educational films from Libya, originally part of the Madison Public Library's collection. Most of the films are in Arabic; some films are in English or include English subtitles. These short documentary films depict the cultural traditions and industrial progress of Libya, often with a propagandist tone. Some were created by the Libyan government to train citizens on farming practices. Though many of the films are undated, they are thought to have been made during the 1970s.
