Algerian Cinema In Forty Five Lessons - Art, Politics And Social Change

by Ahmed Bedjaoui

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 Algerian Cinema in Forty Five Lessons offers a fresh approach to examine the history of Algerian cinema, from its inception to the present day, providing in-depth analysis of forty five key films. While most scholarly and critical work on Algerian cinema continues to centre on the War of Independence and those films engaging with it, Dr Ahmed Bedjaoui argues that this thematic dominance has overshadowed many other important aspects of Algerian film history. Further, Bedjaoui examines how "revolutionary" films have frequently depicted an idealized image of a heroic, flawless and fearless figure which has been strategically crafted to legitimize national authority at different points in time.This book offers a new reading, which involves rehabilitating some major but underestimated works, as well as questioning other films primarily known for their contribution to the Algerian national story. Among the works studied, certain productions offer a less Manichean vision of the War of Independence, while explaining the process that led to it. Above all, Bedjaoui strives to bring out of the shadows films of great artistic value (sometimes produced by state television), and compares the productions of the so-called golden age (1960s and 1970s) with the films made by the following generations, in terms of both creativity and capacity to reflect the specificity of Algerian society.Through a contextualization of forty specific films, this book provides a deep analysis of the changes which occurred in the heart of Algerian society, moving from an all-socialist to an all-protectionist state, before being later threatened by religious fundamentalism. Engaging and accessibly written, and including coverage of many films never written about in English-language histories of Algerian cinema, this book is an essential resource for understanding this dynamic and vital film culture.

Cinema And The Algerian War Of Independence - Culture, Politics, And Society

by Ahmed Bedjaoui

98,71€ + 10% CARD

 The book examines the war of images between France and Algeria. Discussing the role of the United States during the war, it covers topics such the presence of American reporters in Algeria, John F. Kennedy’s support for Algerian independence while a senator, the broadcasting of documentaries on the Algerian war on public television, and reporting in the press. Even half a century after Algerian independence, there remains a need for both film and literature on the war from both sides of the Mediterranean. This might seem surprising, particularly to media professionals, given the quantity of output on the subject, but both French and Algerian portrayals of the war remain flawed and shackled to their respective ideologies.The generation of FLN leaders recognized early on the importance of images, and established a clandestine film structure that would bring the Algerian cause to the world stage.The book offers an insightful and timely contribution not just to thefield of North African studies but also to other disciplines, such as film and media studies, anthropology, history, journalism, and political science. Providing a rich source of research topics and viable ideas for film and documentary projects, it is a must-read for students, scholars and media professionals alike. <div> </div>
