Algérie en flammes

The first film shot in the ALN maquis, in 1956-57. These images of war recorded in the Aurès-Nementcha area were meant to demonstrate popular support for the armed organisation and foster dialogue towards peace. The film immediately circulated all over the world, except in France where it was screened for the first time in 1968, in the occupied Sorbonne. After independence, the film was a founder of the first Algerian Audiovisual Centre.
