The Algerian War in Film Fifty Years Later, 2004 - 2012 examines
the cultural, political, and aesthetic significance of narrative
films made during the fiftieth-anniversary period of the war,
between 2004 and 2012. This period was a fruitful one, in which
film became a central medium generating varied representations of
the war, and Anne Donadey argues that the fiftieth-anniversary film
production contributed to France's move from a period of the return
of the repressed to one of difficult anamnesis. Donadey provides a
close analysis of twenty narrative films made during this period on
both side of the Mediterranean, observing that while some films
continue to center on the point of view of only one stake-holding
group, a number of films open up new opportunities for
multicultural French audiences to envision the war through the eyes
of Algerian characters on-screen, and other films bring memories
from various groups together in thoughtful synthesis that represent
the complexity of the situation. Donadey takes this analysis a step
further to analyze what types of gendered representations emerge in
these films, given the important participation of Algerian women in
the revolutionary war. Scholars of Francophone studies, film,
women's studies, and history will find this book particularly
useful.
