The feature-length fiction film "Chroniques fidèles survenus au siècle dernier à l'hôpital psychiatrique Blida-Joinville, au temps où le docteur Frantz Fanon était chef de la cinquième division entre 1953 et 1956" by Algerian director Abdenour Zahzah will be screened at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, in the "Forum" section, scheduled from 15 to 25 February 2024.
In this feature-length film, the director looks back at the inequalities and injustices perpetrated between 1953 and 1956, during the French colonial period, by the nursing staff of the Blida-Joinville psychiatric hospital (renamed the Hôpital Frantz Fanon after independence) against Algerian inmates.
