The curator of the Algiers International Film Festival, Mr. Hatim Mehdi Benaïssa, « reaffirms the festival’s commitment to seeking out distinctive cinematic works to share with audiences and offering a unique cinematic experience that celebrates cultural diversity.
As part of Algeria’s firm commitment to support the Palestinian cause and the brotherly Palestinian people in their just and steadfast struggle against Zionist brutality, the festival will dedicate special events and activities, including film screenings and the honoring of institutions and prominent figures in Palestinian cinema, whose identities will be revealed later. This is part of our firm belief that cinema is a powerful tool to convey human stories, promote communication between peoples, and amplify the voice of resistance against all forms of violence and barbaric colonial practices.
The festival continues to contribute to the creation of opportunities to develop and enrich the local and international film industry and to celebrate the diversity of cinematic visions.
The festival has begun working with its team to develop a rich cinematic program featuring films that reflect different cultures and to organize workshops and discussion sessions that reinforce the festival’s value as a milestone on the international film scene
