The history of Algeria from before 1830 to May 8, 1945. Going against all preconceived notions, the film reveals the reality of a country that, prior to colonization, had reached a level of development comparable to many European nations. It also exposes the hidden truths of colonial practices. The film ends with the May 8, 1945 massacre in Sétif, a prelude to the November 1954 uprising. With the participation of writer Kateb Yacine. In this documentary, made for Algerian Radio and Television in 1985, René Vautier revisits colonial history, tracing Algeria's past through engravings, drawings, and paintings from the pre-colonial era, accompanied by numerous interviews. The film includes extensive archival footage and an excerpt from René Vautier’s La Folle de Toujane, in which teacher Gilles Servat speaks with his students.

Neither things nor feelings are in vain. A diurnal voyage towards what surpasses us.
A last homage to a vestige of the post-industrial era, rubbish for some, a shelter for others. The video medium and digitalization allow us to capture the moment of destruction and thus to immortalize the object. The deconstruction of time provides here the opportunity to revive for a few minutes the souls of those who lived in these breathless ruins.

Deck By Richard O'Sullivan 2010, 8:10m, Stereo, 4:3, NTSC with Pal conversion Contact: rosulli79@hotmail.com rosulli2004@yahoo.com www.richardosullivan.net Synopsis Inside the boat, the protective womb of the ship erases the traces of the outside. But beyond the barricade, the sea roars. The corroded, wind-blown deck, trembling with seawater, seems like a liminal space between the human and the wild. This very simple piece is a portrayal of the deck of a sea ferry in rough water.
Researching the fusion of sport and performance in ten pictures-scenes, Decathlon transforms sport to a physical theatre. Sport rules are compared to the artistic performance-ritual processes, creating a hybrid. Instead of sport rules and common rituals, the viewers of “sport theatre” are presented with ten absurd situations.
Decasia is composed entirely of decaying, nitrate-based archival footage which seems to melt, burn, drip and deteriorate before our very eyes. In his search for striking examples of emulsion deterioration, Morrison examined close to a thousand archive prints from numerous collections. But Decasia is no mere celebration of the psychedelic beauty of decay, for Morrison has deliberately chosen images which seem to push back against their own physical disintegration.
