The Algerian Novel, chapter 3

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.

Amis du Lac

Amis du Lac depicts an interstellar terrarium containing some of the last vestiges of earth’s living creatures: surveilled by a large, blue alien, the complexity of human life and longing is brought into clarity via the daily lives and waking dreams of the terrarium’s inhabitants. The film stands as a treatise on the innate ability of the imagination to envision perpetually better worlds than the one we’re currently inhabiting, as well as the evocative power of music and art. The earthlings of Amis du Lac are no longer physically connected to their planet, but the planet itself lives on in an ever-expanding world of self-contained dreams and ideas.

Viril.e.s

About twenty people wonder about how their gender has been built: how they learned to behave like men or to behave like ladies and above all where to stand compared to the norm. For some it was obvious, while for others it was an impossible effort. What is obvious is how far it is not obvious to distance yourself from the norm. And also that not everyone feels concerned by questioning this standard. In Viril.e.s there are virile men, women who like it, rebellious young girls, boys who run machines, and lots of people who ask themselves questions.
