About this Event
Join us for this special 60th anniversary screening of the most powerful political films ever made.
Depicting the real-life Algerian struggle for independence against the French, Gilles Pontecorvo’s stunning masterpiece is still celebrated for its realistic portrayal of war, urban insurgency, and anti-colonial struggle, influencing filmmakers and revolutionaries alike.
The film masterfully uses a pseudo-documentary style, real locations, and non-actors to depict the brutal tactics used by both the French paratroopers and the FLN.
As invigorating and vital as it was in 1966, The Battle of Algiers is a timely reminder of struggles against colonial injustice which continue to this day.
