Jean-Léon Gérôme, The Snake Charmer (1879)

The Media Education Foundation put together an excellent documentary introduction to the work of Edward Said and the concept of Orientalism, which includes some illustrative examples from film and popular culture. It is available on UCI’s Kanopy Streaming device:

While this isn’t meant to be a substitute for your reading of Said’s introduction, it might be a good way to clarify points in the text that you find difficult to understand or contextualize.
