Filmbar programme of showing weekly films is being revived at the Research and Publication Centre (RPC). As our re-entry film, we are showing Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers (1966) at Research and Publication Centre on Friday, November 22, at 6pm. All friends are welcome. Tea will be served.
The narrative follows Colonel Philippe, who is tasked with suppressing the uprising against the government in French Algeria. Soon, he finds that a petty criminal, Ali la Pointe, is recruited to fight against the colonizers.
