The Algerian Novel (2019)
Directed by Katia Kameli
· 1h 30m
Starting from a small kiosk of old postcards as a derisory memorial of Algerian history, the visual artist questions the role of images - or the absence of images - in the representation of the colonial heritage of Algeria, of decolonization and the dark years… in short, in the construction of his national novel. In three separate chapters, Katia Kameli delivers a reflection on the making of images or symbols (the flag!). In the enlightened company of the philosopher Marie-José Mondzain and extracts from films by Assia Djebar, she begins a critique that goes beyond the Algerian framework on our relationship to the stories, ideologies and images that shape them.
