Explores the work and legacy of feminist documentary filmmaker, Habiba Djahnine.
This volume focuses on contemporary Algerian feminist documentary filmmaker Habiba Djahnine as a "memory-bearer" who gives voice to her compatriots to tell their own stories in her films. It introduces the reader to key issues in contemporary Algerian culture and history (colonial, the Algerian War, the Black Decade of the 1990s), memory and human rights. The book gives a brief overview of Algerian cinema, Algerian women filmmakers and situates Djahnines oeuvre and its significance within this context. It examines her work as a feminist, teacher and poet and how she transmits this locally and transnationally. The book also explores how Djahnine uses documentary film form for personal and autobiographical explorations of Algerian history, culture, memory and trauma.
