SUMMARY:The Battle of Algiers | Cinema Under Pressure
DESCRIPTION:Across continents and decades\, filmmakers have faced censorship\, intimidation\, and exile for telling uncomfortable truths. Some films were banned outright. Others were attacked\, suppressed\, or quietly buried. The Battle of Algiers is a perfect example of the tension between creative expression and state control. \nSet during the Algerian War of Independence\, the film reconstructs the urban guerrilla campaign waged against French colonial forces in the Casbah of Algiers. What unfolds is an unflinching portrait of resistance\, repression\, and the cycles of violence that define both. Neither side is spared. \nBanned in France for five years after its release and screened by revolutionary movements and military strategists alike\, the film occupies a rare position in cinema history: it has been claimed\, condemned\, and studied by nearly every side of the debates it depicts. Those debates have not ended. Questions about terrorism and counterterrorism\, occupation and resistance\, collective punishment and state violence remain as contested today as they were in 1966. \nCinema Under Pressure presents landmark works that challenged power\, questioned authority\, and faced the consequences. This screening and conversation series examines films that confronted political systems and provoked censorship\, suppression\, or backlash in response. Each program pairs a major film with a discussion featuring invited guest experts in film\, history\, and related fields. \nGuest speakers for this program will be announced soon. \nThe program will be preceded by a complimentary reception starting at 6 p.m.\, with the program beginning at 6:30 p.m. \nRSVPs for this free program do not guarantee admission to the A-Frame Theater. Limited seating will be available on a first come\, first served basis.
