Continuing FAMP Art’s tradition of shedding light on some of the greatest foreign films ever made, we’re excited to announce our next officially licensed release for the 1966 seminal Italian/Algerian co-production, The Battle of Algiers.
Considered one of the most influential political films ever, Gillo Pontecorvo’s Oscar nominated The Battle of Algiers focuses on an important year in the Algerian struggle for independence from the French in the 1950s. As time goes on, the level of violence rises as the Algerians utilize guerilla tactics to attack French soldiers and civilians while the soldiers opt for torturing the insurgents. Filmed in a vivid documentary style on the streets of Algiers, The Battle of Algiers is as relevant today is it was 60 years ago due to its study of warfare in the modern age; terrorist attacks vs the harsh techniques used to counter them.
The Battle of Algiers will go on sale via the FAMP Art website on February 18th at 12pm EST. The print ships WW except to Italy. Full reveal and sale details below:
