Overview
The film critic and historian Ahmed Bedjaoui recounts how Algeria became a global centre for militant cinema after the country achieved independence from France in 1962. Zineb Sedira connects these histories to ideas of oral storytelling and collective memory in African culture. Sedira presents her film from a recreation of a mobile cinema.
