In a region where historical narratives are often contested, restoring films in 4K asserts that the cultural output of the 20th century Arab world is valuable enough to be saved. It tells younger generations, raised on Hollywood CGI, that their grandfathers’ heroes are worthy of the same visual respect as James Bond or Harry Potter.
