'I have an experiment I’d like you to try the next time you encounter a self-proclaimed cinephile in the wild. The kind of cinephile with over 1000 films logged on Letterboxd, with an extensive collection of Criterion Blu-Rays on their living room shelf, who prides themselves on having seen the entire filmographies of even the most obscure European directors. Look that person in the eye and ask, “So what’s your favourite Arab #film?”'
