The Algerian Novel, chapter 3 (2019)

Directed by Katia Kameli

· 45m

The Hirak protests appear as a counterpoint to the investigations conducted throughout the film, and seem to provide the gateway to the exploration of hidden memories. Through a discussion on Louiza Ammi's photographic work, this chapter is an opportunity to rectify the iconographic absence of the Black Decade, which is mentioned in the first two parts. The analysis of sequences from the Assia Djebar's movie La Nouba des femmes du mont Chenoua, by Ahmed Bedjaoui, producer and film critic, feeds into this historical reinvestment. This film, which is symbolic of the beginnings of post-decolonization Algerian cinema, reappropriates the writing of history through the prism of women of different generations, whose words embody a memory that is too often overshadowed.
