Festival panafricain d’Alger

The screening, co-presented with Nigra Iuventa, is part of artist Berirouche Feddal’s exhibition “Alger capitale de la Révolution”, at the Maison de la culture Marie-Uguay until October 13, 2024.

A cult and yet little-known film where William Klein takes us to the first Panafrican Festival of Algiers. This major event gives a feeling of euphoria, exuberance, joy and hope for a free and fraternal African continent. The film focuses on important militant political figures of the time, and on artists who performed in solidarity with Algeria and the anti-colonial movements present at the festival, including Nina Simone, Archie Shepp and Miriam Makeba.
