Rialto klassiek - The Battle of Algiers (uit 1966)
Klassieke film van Gillo Pontecorvo, Algerije/Italië. In 1954 zijn de Algerijnen de koloniale overheersing van de Fransen meer dan zat. Met hun superieur wapentuig lijken de Fransen de situatie makkelijk de baas, maar de Algerijnen, inmiddels verenigd in het Front de Libération Nationale, ontketenen een guerrillaoorlog. Dit veelbekroonde meesterwerk (o.m. de Gouden Leeuw), dat deze oorlog verbeeldt, was de eerste grote filmproductie van Algerijnse bodem. Pontecarvo schoot de film in neorealistische stijl à la Roberto Rossellini met een soundtrack van Ennio Morocone.

Ibrahim 'Lodia' Diallo (Dakar, 1974) is a versatile Senegalese artist who, since 2013, has lived and worked in The Hague, the Netherlands. His original work ranges from traditional to timeless and his style is expressive, colourful and cheerful. Lodia’s West African art is conspicuous for its inspiration, flair, swinging characters and heartfelt messages.
