A 1973 Aramco World Magazine Feature on Location Shooting in Lebanon

Abstract

ABSTRACT:A 1973 feature on location shooting in Lebanon, published in Aramco World magazine, highlights the contemporaneous status of Beirut as an urban center of transnational and transregional media production. The feature's coverage of Honey Baby Honey Baby (1974), a US Black independent prestige film shot on location in Lebanon, occasions a reconsideration of the film's largely lost legacies, alongside the possibilities and limits of Middle East oil company publications for archival historiographies of globally circulating media.
