Middle Eastern and North African cinema
In 1943, the first post-independence movie was produced in Lebanon called The Rose Seller. The same year in Turkey the first fully dubbed movie is produced, Troubled Spring. In 1944 the Centre Cinématographique Marocain is founded with the ultimate goal of producing Moroccan films and just a few years later, in 1946, France established Studios Africa in the Maghreb (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco) to produce documentaries with material from the colonies. Both of these studios had the purpose of creating and sharing propaganda regarding the revolts that were taking place in French colonies. By 1946, the studios were producing films in Arabic, not only French, and they became much more approachable to the audience by producing content that discussed Islam. Nevertheless, the movies' purpose was to spread propaganda especially against resistance fighters that were requesting independence from the French colonialism.
