The Film Lovers Society presents: The Battle of Algiers

Itinéraire

Description de l'événement

Selected “Politics, Laughter & Obsession” films at Teatro Santa Ana, La Biblioteca, every Wednesday in June

The Battle of Algiers, Dir. Gillo Pontecorvo

In Arabic and French with English subtitles | 121 min.

Set in 1950s Algiers, the film follows Ali La Pointe, a petty criminal who becomes a key figure in the National Liberation Front (FLN), as the resistance organizes a campaign against French colonial rule.

The conflict unfolds through a cycle of insurgency and repression. Bombings, assassinations, and strikes are met with systematic counterinsurgency led by French paratroopers, exposing the mechanisms of control, surveillance, and torture used to dismantle the الثورة.

Blending political analysis with visceral tension, the film examines colonial power, resistance, and the ethics of violence. It remains celebrated for its formal precision, historical urgency, and its enduring influence on both political filmmaking and real-world understandings of urban warfare.
