title: The Nouba of the Women of Mount Chenoua

overview: Writer and filmmaker Assia Djebar explores Algerian history, the psychological impact of war, and post-colonial female identity in this 1979 classic of film literature. Named for (and taking its structure from) a traditional song with five distinct movements, the film combines documentary-style observation with loose narrative form to tell the story of Lila, an Algerian expatriate returning to her country 15 years after independence has been won. In comparing her life with the lives and experiences of rural Algeriennes, Lila is able to put her childhood demons to rest and discover a new history -- one written in the ongoing strength of generations of women. Like much of Djebar's writing, the film has a strong subtext dealing with resistance to patriarchy and women's desire to appropriate the means of power and expression -- one of which, of course, is the filmmaker's camera.

Shot in 2009-2012 (before and during the Egyptian revolution, and ending with the most recent presidential elections), the film explores the country's collective identity, inherent struggles, and the sentiments that lead through the historic changes taking place in Egypt today. For his third documentary, Egyptian/ American filmmaker Sherief Elkatsha rides through the congested streets alongside a diverse cast of characters-from taxi drivers to ambulances, from traffic cops to private citizens-capturing the unspoken codes of conduct, frustrations, humor, fatalism, and life-or-death decisions of driving in a city where the only rule is: there are no rules.

Nachdem die syrischen Sicherheitskräfte militärisch gegen die Demonstranten vorgehen, entschließen sich die zunächst pazifistisch eingestellten Freunde sich zu bewaffnen und werden Widerstandskämpfer gegen das Assad-Regime. Die Dokumentation zeigt dabei den Werdegang der Hauptfigur Abdul Baset Al-Sarout, vom Torwart einer Fußball-Jugendmannschaft zum Kommandanten einer kleinen Gruppe von Kämpfern auf der Seite der Freien Syrische Armee in der mit der Kamera sehr nah am Geschehen der grausame Bürgerkrieg in einer zerstörten Stadt gezeigt wird.

title: Bloody Beans

overview: On an Algerian beach, kids splash about, sleep, squabble - and then suddenly go to war. And it’s neither Lord of the Flies nor La Guerre des boutons. In her first film, full of grace, Narimane Mari films this childish freefor- all closely, at the irregular pace of an imagination inspired by the highest form of reality, national History — actually, nothing less than the Algerian War of Independence. When their make-believe induces a general upheaval, we follow the flock of children as they stamp their feet up the stairs, invade houses, cross village squares, in a whirlwind of shouts and empty words. Time is stretched like in a dream, through a choreography of belligerent shadows or the night-time explosion of the cemetery, as so many warning signs of dangers to come.

Mais la guerre rattrape la belle aventure et ensanglante les haricots.
 Avec la force imaginative et transgressive de l'enfance, ce film dit la fin de l'Algérie Française.
