This list is inspired by Ella Shohat and Robert Stam’s book, “Unthinking Eurocentrism: Multiculturalism and the Media,” and their classification of Third World Cinema:

“1. A core circle of “Third Worldist” films produced by and for Third World people (no matter where those people happen to be) and adhering to the principles of “Third Cinema”;
2. a wider circle of cinematic productions of Third World people (retroactively defined as such), whether or not the films adhere to the principles of Third Cinema and irrespective of the period of their making;
3. another circle consisting of films made by First or Second World people in support of Third World peoples and adhering to the principles of Third Cinema; and
4. a final circle, somewhat anomalous in status, at once “inside” and “outside,” comprising recent diasporic hybrid films, for example those of Mona Hatoum or Hanif Kureishi, which both build on and interrogate conventions of “Third Cinema.”"
