Exactly Where to Start is a playbook for everyone with a great idea, everyone with a goal in mind, and everyone with a specific destination but no journey. We've been told all our lives that "good things come to those who wait"--but that's a myth. Good things come to those who do. Too often, we get stuck in the "getting ready" stage: research, analysis, brainstorming, and more research; we feel like we need to know everything there is to know about what we want to do before we ever take the first steps. Meanwhile, the people who actually go out and do the thing are taking risks, learning lessons, and making strides toward their goals every single day. Isn't it time you joined them?

Alžírský režisér Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina (*1934) a nedávno zesnulý syrský režisér Nabil Maleh (1936–2016) jsou společně považováni zakladatele svých národních kinematografií a klíčové postavy arabského filmu. Vzhledem ke své politicky angažované a esteticky jedinečné tvorbě jsou také známí na mezinárodní scéně. Málokdo však ví, že v 60. letech oba dva studovali na pražské FAMU a že se toto studium bezpochyby odrazilo v jejich tvorbě. Mezi další významné asijské a africké režiséry, kteří prošli studiem na FAMU patří srílanský režisér Piyasiri Gunaratna (1939) a tuniský dokumentarista Hafed Bouassida (1947), stejně jako desítky dalších režisérů, kameramanů a scénáristů z různých zemí Asie, Afriky a Latinské Ameriky. Dvojjazyčná publikace se zaměřuje na kulturní výměnu spjatou s pobytem filmařů ze třetího světa v Československu. Zahrnuje rozhovory s některými z režisérů (Hafed Bouassida, Pyasiri Gunaratna) a studie tvorby Mohammeda Lakhdara-Haminy (Olivier Hadouchi) a Nabila Maleha (Kay Dickinson). Publikace rovněž zahrnuje text Alice Lovejoy o cestě Františka Vláčila do Číny. Obecnějším kontextem se zabývá esej Daniely Hannové o arabských studentech v Československu.
