This topical and innovative study is the first book on Algerian
cinema to be published in English since the 1970s. At a time when
North African and Islamic cultures are of increasing political
significance, Algerian National Cinema presents a dynamic, detailed
and up to date analysis of how film has represented this often
misunderstood nation. Algerian National Cinema explores key films
from The Battle of Algiers (1966) to Mascarades (2007).
Introductions to Algerian history and to the national film industry
are followed by chapters on the essential genres and themes of
filmmaking in Algeria, including films of anti-colonial struggle,
representations of gender, Berber cinema, and filming the 'black
decade' of the 1990s. This thoughtful and timely book will appeal
to all interested in world cinemas, in North African and Islamic
cultures, and in the role of cinema as a vehicle for the expression
of contested identities. By the author of the critically-acclaimed
Contemporary French Cinema. -- .
