Yamina Bachir-Chouikh honoured at the film library of Algiers

The Algerian Cinematography Centre organises on 7 and 8 March at the Algiers Film Library the "Women's Cinema Days" event, which is dedicated to the memory of the late director Yamina Bachir-Chouikh (1954-2022), as part of the celebration of International Women's Rights Day.

The centre offers to discover the director's feature films, such as "Till the end of time", but also other films which deal with the subject of women (e.g., "Saliha" by Mohamed Sahraoui ). A conference tackling "Women in Algerian cinema" is also scheduled, with Hanane Touati, professor in the Arts Department at the University of Bouzareah, and journalist and film critic Mohamed Abidou.
