Nicole Beth Wallenbrock, "The Franco-Algerian War through a Twenty-First Century Lens: Film and History "
English | ISBN: 1474262805 | 2020 | 224 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The Franco-Algerian War (1954-62) remains a powerful international symbol of Third Worldism and the finality of Empire. Through its nuanced analysis of the war’s depiction in film, The Franco-Algerian War through a Twenty-First Century Lens locates an international reckoning with history that both condemns and exonerates past generations.
Algerian and French production partnerships-such as Hors-la-loi, (Outside the Law, Rachid Bouchareb, 2010) and Loubia Hamra (Bloody Beans, Narimane Mari, 2013)-are one of several ways citizens collaborate to unearth a shared history and its legacy. Nicole Beth Wallenbrock probes cinematic discourse to shed new light on topics including: the media revelation of torture and atomic bomb tests; immigration’s role in the evolution of the war’s meaning; and the complex relationship of the intertwined film cultures. The first chapter summarizes the Franco-Algerian War in 20th-century film, thus grounding subsequent queries with Algeria’s or freedom-fighter films and the French new wave’s perceived disinterest in the conflict.
This book is an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to understand cinema’s role in re-evaluating war and reconstructing international memory.
