Movie Screening: Battle of Algiers
July 2 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm PDT
No bastard ever won a revolutionary anti-colonial struggle by dying for his country, he won it by making the strong armies of colonialism die for theirs.
Pontecorvo’s revolutionary classic remains a benchmark in cinematic realism as well as a case study in representing political insurgency. A history of Algeria’s three-year fight for independence from its French colonizers, THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS chronicles the escalating violence between French military forces and the Algerian guerrilla movement. With its documentary-style immediacy and its vivid depiction of the struggle between oppression and resistance, this is one of the most influential and important of all political films.
