This week we discuss one of the most important revolutionary films ever produced, "The Battle of Algiers." Directed by Gillo Pontecorvo and staring Jean Martin, Saadi Yacef, Brahim Hadjadj and Tommaso Neri, the film was released in 1966 and portrays the actions undertaken by rebels during the Algerian War against the French occupation of Algeria. Released only four years after the Algerian War and the successful revolution and independence of Algeria from the French, and less than a decade after the events of the film itself, "The Battle of Algiers" was shot on location and is cast almost entirely with members of the Algerian community who were participants in the revolution or lived through it. We discuss the impact the film had on society at large, the way in which it starkly portrays the violence of revolution while perfectly capturing the inherent humanity of those of us who want to bring about a better future for all even though we must use the tools of violence to do so.To discuss the film we are joined by Aaron, a good friend of one of our hosts, an activist, an organizer, and a man with more to say about this film than we could ever fit into a single episode.

The revolution continues on Vintage Cinema Rewind. This week, Blake and Michael are back with their Deep Dive on the recently-trending The Battle of Algiers! As the hunt for Blake continues, the people of Algeria find themselves caught in a hail of gunfire. But as Michael narrows in on his target, Blake takes a moment to question both his methods and the true impact of violence upon the native populace. And with his own execution drawing near and the rebels truly find a better way, can the residents of Algeria find a better way? Or will their home become little more than a barrow?

Vintage Cinema Rewind is back with yet another classic of international cinema! This week, they're covering The Battle of Algiers, the iconic docudrama that was referenced in Paul Thomas Anderson's acclaimed One Battle After Another. As the iron grip of colonialism tightens around Algeria, Blake--a young street thug--is drafted into the rebellion. But as the city around them becomes a scarred mess of cinder and barbed wire, are they truly helping the native populace? And when Michael--a French commander--is brought in to sniff out the freedom fighters, can they still win the hearts and minds of their people? Or will they end up forced back into the shadows?   Full Movie: Full Movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpn4Htfrv88

War is hell. Vive le revolution! Conflict is on the menu this week as Nick Langdon drops by to discuss The Battle of Algiers (1966), directed by Gillo Pontecorvo, and Battle of the Commandos (1969), directed by Umberto Lenzi. A legendary treatise on how to both wage a guerilla resistance and combat one, plus an object lesson in how NOT to conduct a commando mission - even if you are Jack Palance with a shonky Scottish accent! The Battle of Algiers has an unusual narrative structure which is not really spoilable and it's hard to imagine how we could spoil Battle of the Commandos more than it already is. So, we won't be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for either film this week. Want to get in touch?

Hello once again friends! We are back, and Dalton is bringing the ship into port with a seminal experience The Battle of Algiers. The 1966 Italian realist work is noted for its style, approach, and message—but is it still relevant? We bring The Battle of Algiers to the analysis table to talk realism, impact, totalitarianism, and much, much more. Tune in now to hear our analysis!

Hello and welcome back to The Dana Gould Hour. Your brief audio respite from the world's worst reality show, reality. Samm Deighan is here. She is a film historian and author and has written such books as The Legacy Of World War 2 in European Art House Cinema and a study of Fritz Lang's child murder romp M. Her new book, written with Andrew Nette is entitled Revolution In 35 MM, Political Violence And Resistance In Cinema, From The Art House To The Grindhouse 1960 to 1990. It covers everything from The Battle Of Algiers to Coffin Joe to Zabriskie Point.  Harry Medved and Bennet Yellin are here. Harry Medved wrote the book the 50 Worst Movies of All Time when he was in high school! He was 15 when he wrote that book. And that was in the late 70's before VHS tapes. He also wrote, with his brother Michael, the Golden Turkey Awards, which, as you know, is what helped put Ed Wood back on the map in the mid-eighties.  He has a series now on PBS called Locationland, where he takes audiences on a tour of famous film locations, this was back when films had locations, as opposed to standing in front of a green screen at a warehouse in Atlanta. I recently had the pleasure of joining Harry on a tour of the locations for a little film you may have heard me talk about, Plan 9 from Outer Space.  Bennet Yellin is an author and screenwriter, he's written, with the Farrelly Brothers, There's Something About Mary, Dumb And Dumber, Dumb And Dumber Two. Bennet and Harry have been friends for eons and they are here to talk bad movies, good movies and Ed Wood movies which are, of course, an alchemic mixture of the two. True Tales From Weirdsville tells the tale of the place both wonderful and strange, Twin Peaks. Like everyone else I was super bummed out by the passing of David Lynch in January. I think it was a combination of things. The election, we were in the middle of these catastrophic fires and then, just when things couldn't get worse, they did. As much as I love David Lynch and his work, and have back to…I guess Blue Velvet, what he stood for meant more to me than any particular film or television show or what have you.  He was uncompromising in his vision, you could like it or not. That wasn't the point. That's a rare thing these days, when studios and networks seem to be operating under the belief that the only audience worth getting is everyone alive, and anything less is a failure. Twin Peaks, it's origins, success, fall from grace and resurrection is a terrific microcosm of how Lynch's refusal to compromise created something far greater than the sum of it's parts, it flew against convention, challenged audiences. In the case of Fire Walk With Me, it really challenged audiences. But in every instance, time has proven Lynch's instincts were right, so we're going to do a two, possibly three part series on Lynch's career through the lens of Twin Peaks. And NOW, it's on to our filthy business. https://DanaGould.com

This week, we discuss two films that delve into the complex dynamics of political ideology and revolution in the 1960s. The first is The Battle of Algiers (1966), an Italian-Algerian war film co-written and directed by Gillo Pontecorvo. It is based on action undertaken by rebels during the Algerian War (1954–1962) against the French government in North Africa, the most prominent being the eponymous Battle of Algiers. The second is La Chinoise (1967), a French political docufiction film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard about a group of young Maoist activists in Paris. La Chinoise is a loose adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's 1872 novel Demons (also known as The Possessed).   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:01:03) –  Midsommar, Hereditary, The Revenge of Frankenstein The Battle of Algiers (00:15:20) La Chinoise (00:43:15) Coin toss (01:09:10)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com

Free preview crossover with the Bang-Bang Podcast!Arguably the most successful revolutionary film of all time, Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers boasts many legacies. For film buffs, its import derives from its landmark status in the pantheon of Italian neorealism and political cinema. For anti-imperialists, its value comes from its hardnosed but sympathetic depictions of armed struggle. And for imperialists or right-wing strongmen, the film has been deployed as a realistic guidebook for counterinsurgency. Van and Lyle relate these competing readings to the War on Terror and the latest debates around Gaza, Palestine, and liberation.Get the full episode and subscribe at https://www.bangbangpod.com/p/the-battle-of-algiers-1966.Further Reading:A Savage War of Peace (1977), by Alistair HorneDiscourse on Colonialism (1955), by Aimé CésaireThe Wretched of the Earth (1961), by Franz Fanon“Negroes are Anti-Semitic Because They're Anti-White” (1967), by James Baldwin“Open Letter to the Born Again” (1979), by James BaldwinOn Violence (1970), by Hannah Arendt“No regrets from an ex-Algerian rebel immortalized in film” (2007), Interview with Saadi Yacef“The Communists and the Colonized” (2016), Interview with Selim NadiHamas Contained (2018), by Tareq BaconiThe Hundred Years' War on Palestine (2020), by Rashid Khalidi

For the last episode in this season of great political films David explores Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers (1966), which changed the face of political movie-making forever. Filmed to look like archive footage, featuring actual participants in the events it describes, and showing both sides of the vicious contest between insurgents and counter-insurgents, it humanises a horrifying conflict. It also raises the question: where is the line between realism and rage?Coming on Saturday: a new bonus episode to accompany this series in which David talks to Helen Thompson about Apocalypse Now, the ultimate film about war and madness.

It's the UConn Popcast, and today we are joined by Professor Robert Farley, author of “Andor: Star Wars Recreates the Battle of Algiers (And it Works).” We talk about how Andor, the Disney+ streamer, was deeply influenced by Gillo Pontecorvo's 1966 movie The Battle of Algiers. Both texts tell the story of a rebellion against authoritarian colonial overlords, and both do so in a documentary style. We consider how Andor relates to other entries in the Star Wars universe, what myths and meaning structures Andor engages, and whether the show qualifies as great television, or merely pretty good Star Wars.

Movies have always been a way to understand the world around us, and so, confronted with the brutal horrors of both Hamas's attacks on October 7th and Israel's disproportionate slaughtering of thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians, we question if cinema can try to make sense of such atrocities. For this episode of Celebrating Cinema, we focus on Gillo Pontecorvo's seminal classic The Battle of Algiers, a brutally candid exposé of the French colonial mindset, which recounts a similar bloody struggle for the liberation of the Algerian people in the 1950s. Ultimately, this film both humanises and complicates the reality of violence between the oppressor and the oppressed. As we discuss public oppression, organised resistance, how violence begets violence, as well as the media's power in ‘selling' a colonial occupation and the consequences for the civilian people caught in the middle of all this. But most importantly we focus on how a film like The Battle Of Algiers can offer hope for freedom in these tragic times. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lab111/message

Every year around Remembrance Day we showcase an anti war film and this year is no different. This year we are looking at an unconventional conflict, instead of state vs state this is colonial power vs an independence movement.  The Battle of Algiers is considered one of the most important anti war films in the history of cinema and has even been  championed as a "How To" manual by many guerrilla revolutionary movements.  Lest We Forget   www.howdyoulikethatmovie.com Twitter

Bart and Jenna are rarely afraid to dive headfirst into uncharted areas of cinema, but certain movies are just too important for them to toss around in their usual subjective way. Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers is one such landmark work that seems irresponsible to discuss without a maximum amount of context. That's why Cinema60 invited African Studies and Decolonization scholar Christopher J. Lee to the podcast to help them unpack the history and politics of the film and the events that it depicts.In addition, Chris wanted to talk about Ousmane Sembène's Black Girl, another film from 1966 with a very different, but equally harsh, perspective on French colonialism in Africa. The two films, taken together, give a well-rounded visualization of the revolutionary ideas of political philosopher Frantz Fanon, whose thoughts got to the heart much of the social upheaval of the era. Listen as Chris gives a global backdrop to the rebellious spirit that inspired the big changes in the way people governed themselves, and in the way they made movies, in the mid-20th century.The following films are discussed:• The Battle of Algiers (1966) La battaglia di Algeri Directed by Gillo Pontecorvo Starring Brahim Hadjadj, Jean Martin, Yacef Saadi• Black Girl (1966) La noire de... Directed by Ousmane Sembène Starring Mbissine Thérèse Diop, Anne-Marie Jelinek, Robert FontaineAlso mentioned:• The Birth of a Nation (1915) Directed by D.W.

“The guerrilla wins if he does not lose.”  – Henry KissingerIn this episode we update a classic article written by Andrew Mack back in 1975.  As I feel strongly enough that a 50-year-old article is worth re-investigating and much of this analysis is based on Mack's original conclusions, I highly recommend you read the original which is easily available in digital format.  Its full title is “Why Big Nations Lose Small Wars: The Politics of Asymmetric Conflict” and it appeared in the journal World Politics, Volume 27. How do massively outnumbered, outgunned, out-trained, and out-supplied guerillas sustain themselves in the field indefinitely?  What explains the paradox that even though the big nations win the key battles, such as the US with the Tet Offensive and the French in Algiers, they nevertheless find themselves in a weaker strategic position?   Would the outcomes have been different if the civilian leaderships did not tie the hands of their militaries?  These are rabbit holes that have some unsettling implications.

This week we're headed to North Africa, for a story of will and determination for freedom that's unlike any other. From 1954 to 1962, Algeria fought a tough, complicated war for independence from colonial rule from France, a war that upended the French political system and began a long, difficult process of African decolonization. That's a lot to try to pack into a single film, but director Gillo Pontecorvo does so with absolute perfect thought and foresight. Using mostly non-actors and filming in many of the actual locations where the events of the war took place, this week's film is an absolute testament to vérité filmmaking.

Is it a movie or is it a documentary? A lot of people back then didn't even know the answer themselves! The gang watched the movie and has a lot of thoughts on this 1966 movie about a very real war made in a very real way!

Forrest Miller discusses Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers with Conan Neutron and Erica Strout. Gillo Pontecorvo and Franco Solinas, two Italian Filmmakers, were chosen by Saadi Yacef to tell the story of the Algerian NLF's fight against French Colonialism. The Battle of Algiers tells the story of the initial (losing) battles from 1954-1957. It is an intense war film detailing death, destruction, torture, and bombings.   Subscribe to Movie Night Extravaganza   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/movienightextravaganza   Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/movienightextravaganza     Become a Movie Night Extravaganza Patron: https://www.patreon.com/MovieNightExtra   About TIR Thank you, guys, again for taking the time to check this out.

A rebellion film if there ever was one, Italian director Gillo Pontecorvo's magnum opus dramatizes the fight against French Colonialism in 1950s Algeria. A quintessential example of Italian neorealism, the documentary-style of the filming, the film stock itself, and the use of non-professional actors give this film a gritty, real-life feel. It has been an inspiration to terrorist organizations and governments alike, and is an important and thought-provoking part of cinema history.

THEY'RE REVOLTING: “It's a trap.” Join filmmaker and fellow podcaster Derek Diamond (The Derek Diamond Experience) as we talk The Empire Strikes Back and The Battle of Algiers, two films about a revolutionary forced trying to throw off the yolk of their empire owners. Also, I was a guest on The Derek Diamond Experience and you can find it here among other streaming platforms: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-derek-diamond-experience/id954082680 Isn't always the same. You take over a country or planet. Teach them your ways. Make them civilized. But are they grateful? Do they welcome your world domination and tyranny? No. The thankless peons dare to ask, no demand, their freedom. Unappreciative miscreants…Sounds like it's time for Episode 65 of Pop Art, the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. This time, I am happy to welcome as my guest, filmmaker and fellow podcaster, Derek Diamond, who has chosen as his film the sequel to the blockbuster Star Wars, the not-so-blockbuster, but perhaps superior, The Empire Strikes Back, while I have chosen the French neo-realist classic The Battle for Algiers, both films about people fighting an empire for their freedom. And in this episode we answer such questions: Does Star Wars have a diversity issue? What is scientifically wrong with the asteroid belt scene? Who is Sartre? Is the director's cut better? What did Harrison Ford say about the screenplay to Lucas? What is unusual about the Oscars and Battle? What warning was attached to screenings of Battle in some countries and why? Why is Alec Guinness in Empire for such a little time? What is Manicheism? Why was Battle banned in France? Who wrote Empire? What line was David Prowse given to say because he tended to leak information? Where do the Black Panthers and the Baader-Meinhof complex come in? Where does the Wilhelm scream come? And don't forget to check out the Derek Diamond Experience https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-derek-diamond-experience/id954082680 And his short film on YouTube, The Parker Syndrome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKarHgnYs9A Check out my blog at https://howardcasner.wordpress.com/ My books, More Rantings and Ravings of a Screenplay Reader, The Starving Artists and Other Stories and The Five Corporations and One True Religion can be found at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=howard+casner&ref=nb_sb_noss --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/howard-casner/support

This week Finn & Uther (in separate rooms for the first time) watched 'The Battle of Algiers' (1966), Pontecorvo's brilliantly humane and incisively political episodic portrait of urban guerilla warfare. With that, they watched 'Red Dawn' (2012), which is basically the same as 'Battle of Algiers' just without the incisive, humane or brilliant parts.

At Hinge Problems HQ we tug at our collars as we release a review of The Battle of Algiers on the tail of recent world events. The Next Film is MacArthur (1977).

In this episode, Nashwa, Liv Agar, and Will Menaker talk through the third world cinema excellence of Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers. Enclosed is a preview; if you want to unlock the full episode, you can do so by subscribing on Patreon or Substack.Through its depiction of some of the most pivotal events in the Algerian War of Independence, The Battle of Algiers is an unsparing portrayal of what revolution actually is. The film specifically covers the events of 1954 to 1962, with French occupiers failing to stop an impending uprising. Although over half a century old, the movie shows little sign of aging and remains relevant today—it has been shown to members of the Black Panthers, the IRA, and had a featured screening at the Pentagon. The film remains unique and a must see for anyone interested in the Algerian people's fight for liberation from 132 years of French colonialism. During their chat, the trio reflect on the movie, its most important scenes, and some of the historical context around it; they also close the episode by rating the film on a very special scale.

In September 1966, a film was released that has come to be seen as one of the great political masterpieces of 20th-century cinema. Shot in black-and-white, the Battle of Algiers recreates the turbulent last years of French colonial rule in Algeria. Louise Hidalgo has been talking to former Algerian resistance leader, Saadi Yacef, who plays himself in the film and on whose memoirs the film is largely based.

It's been called the greatest political film of all time.  The Battle of Algiers, which was released fifty years ago, told the story of the Algerian people's struggle against French colonialism.  It became an instant classic and touchstone for radical movements in the Third World and the international left.  And it became a tool for study by those bent on crushing insurgencies, from Uruguay to the Pentagon.  Scholar Sohail Daulatzai looks back at the film's history and shifting impact on the world. (Encore presentation.) Resources: Sohail Daulatzai, Fifty Years of The Battle of Algiers: Past as Prologue University of Minnesota Press, 2016 The post The Battle of Algiers Revisited appeared first on KPFA.

The classic 1966 war film THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS got a re-release in UK cinemas back in 2007 and it was then I spoke to Saadi Yacef, who produced and starred in the film. He was one of the leaders of Algeria’s National Liberation Front during his country’s war of independence. Whilst imprisoned by the French, he wrote his memoir of the actual Battle of Algiers, which was published in 1962. After the war Saadi helped produce Gillo Pontecorvo‘s film and he even stars in it as a character based on his own experiences. With its strikingly realistic depiction of modern warfare and terrorism the film has gone on to become highly influential. So much so that the The Pentagon screened it in 2003 as a useful illustration of the problems faced in Iraq. Saadi went on to become a Senator in Algeria’s People’s National Assembly.File Download (17:49 min / 16 MB)

"It's hard to start a revolution.  Even harder to continue it.  And hardest of all to win it.  But, it's only afterwards, when we have won, that the true difficulties begin.  In short, Ali, there's still much to do." In our post-9/11 world, it's difficult to understand a culture that would be willing to kill innocent people for its cause, and to sympathize with it is downright impossible.  It's confounding that someone made a film in the 1960's about Muslim nationalists that is unbelievably sympathetic to their cause...and, more importantly, makes the viewer feel the same. "The Battle of Algiers" (1965) was directed by Gillo Pontecorvo at a time when Algeria was occupied by France, and the citizens of Algiers found themselves resorting to terrorism to fight for independence.  It's depressing, shocking, and jaw-dropping...to say the least.

The Criterion Collection, the last vestige of truly collectible DVD and Blu-Ray movies in existence. These are well produced, fancy pants editions of important and interesting films for the discerning film lover. We continue our journey through Jim's collection of movies with... The Battle of Algiers Spine Number: 249 Director: Gillo Pontecorvo Genre: Historical/Political Drama The very idea of discussing anything political in today's climate is solidly off putting. What should be a civil exchange of ideas has been reduced to vulgar grandstanding. Instead of sharing information and gaining knowledge people have become more interested in either picking a fight to show how stupid and wrong those who disagree with them are, or to get a solid pat on the back from the adoring chorus of like minded individuals. Ideas that are deemed "incorrect" or "improper," are cast aside and ignored. We, as a people, have become a mob, seeking whatever our minds can process as either truth or justice. Such is the environment that created "The Battle of Algiers." Gillo Pontecorvo's "The Battle of Algiers," is, essentially, the gold standard for historical/political filmmaking. Centering around the events leading up to and following the Algerian war of the 1950's Pontecorvo uses a cinema verite style that is so completely immersive it is easy to forget you are watching a movie, as it could have easily been constructed from newsreel footage. This film does what good discussion should do. It shows both sides. There are no clear cut heroes or villains here. Both sides are shown as both the victim and the perpetrators of unnecessary violence against the innocent. Rather than take sides Pontecorvo instead focuses on the problems inherent in colonialism, the struggles of a people fighting for their independence, and a group upholding their sworn duty. It is not an easy film, but good discussion rarely should be. Essentially, this film is about what happens when you ignore people. Ideas are never wiped out. They hide, they fester, and they spread, but they never really go away. What happens when people who have, what they feel, to be legitimate grievances are ignored? Do they simply forget about it? Or do those ideas find a different way to express themselves. Be warned, we do get political in this show. But that's ok. You may not agree with us. But that, too, is ok. All that we ask, is that you listen to both what we say and how we say it. Nothing we say should upset you. If it does... your refund is in the mail.
