Algeria, Year Zero

Taglines

Overview

Documentary on the beginnings of Algerian independence filmed during the summer of 1962 in Algiers. The film was banned in France and Algeria but won the Grand Prize at the Leipzig International Film Festival in 1965. Out of friendship, the production company Images de France sent an operator, Bruno Muel, who later declared: "For those who were called to Algeria (for me, 1956-58), participating in a film on independence was a victory over horror, lies and absurdity. It was also the beginning of my commitment to the cinema."

Algérie, année zéro

Taglines

Overview

Au coeur des monts des Aurès, un des maquis de la révolution algérienne, les villageois témoignent de la dureté des premiers combats et de leur exil. Alger, entourée par les bidonvilles et constituée de quartiers pauvres et riches, continue à vivre malgré les actes terroristes de l’OAS, qui ont paralysés son économie, et l’émigration de nombreux Algériens vers la France. Devant le lourd bilan de la guerre, la priorité est à la reconstruction du pays. Les premiers efforts sont mis sur l’éducation et l’agriculture. Dans la plaine de la Mitidja, le regroupement des paysans et des ouvriers agricoles en comités de gestion a posé les bases de la réforme agraire qui permettra la relance de la production agricole et la reconstruction des villages.En visite, des ministres viennent promettre aux paysans la prospérité et la justice... Le film fut interdit en France et en Algérie mais obtint le Grand prix du festival international de Leipzig en 1965.
