Jacqueline Gozlan - who left Algeria with her parents in 1961 - nostalgically retraces the history of the Algiers Cinematheque, inseparable from that of the country's Independence, through film extracts and numerous testimonies from filmmakers including Merzak Allouache and critics such as Jean Douchet. A place of life for Algerians, the Algiers Cinematheque was the hub of African cinemas. Created in 1965 by Ahmed Hocine, Mahieddine Moussaoui and Jean-Michel Arnold, the Cinémathèque benefited from the excitement of Independence. Everything then seems possible, complete retrospectives are offered, international directors and critics come. The Algiers Cinematheque becomes a meeting place for Algiers society, future filmmakers find their best school there. In 1969, the Algiers Pan-African Festival brought together all African filmmakers, and from 1970, Boudjemâa Kareche developed a collection of Arab and African films. Cinémathèque d'Alger reflects the vivacity of an Algerian cinema which questions its era, from the emancipation of women in Le Charbonnier by Mohamed Bouamari (1973), to the idleness of young men in Omar Gatlato by Merzak Allouache (1976). In the 1990s, the attacks of the Black Decade hit cultural venues and fear sounded the death knell for freedom and all Algerian cinema collapsed.
