Algeria No. 3: The National company of Iron and steel industry

Stereo tape or tape and slides

Photographies : Djamel Farès

Premiered: Cinémathèque Alger 1978

«Visit in El-hadjar (Annaba). Various discussions with the workers in connection with their work conditions, of socialist management and how the factory runs. Report illustrated by the noises and environments of the daily life. Algeria 1,2,3 are also portraits of places of a certain sound interest, unfortunately the “Algerian revolution” which is expressed here like release of colonialism, yielded the place to a retrograde religious tearing. These 3 Portraits are really exceeded. Alas!»
