In April 1961, in the Aurès mountains of Algeria, a hunting commando made up of Breton conscripts confronts a group from the National Liberation Army and captures an Algerian prisoner. A French soldier, wounded in the clash and a schoolteacher in civilian life, recalls the events he experienced with his comrades over the past months: their opposition to the Algerian war led them to a camp reserved for draft resisters. He remembers how their commanding officer managed to turn them, from young anti-militarist Bretons, into fearsome fellagha hunters — ready to kill, and even starting to enjoy it. All of them, except him, gradually give in to the escalating violence. Avoir vingt ans dans les Aurès, is a fictional work based on eight hundred hours of recordings of French conscripts during the Algerian war.

In the tumultuous Arab social context of 2011, the Net emerged as one of most crucial tools for spreading information about the popular uprisings in different countries in the region. A year later, if we want to go back and follow the trail of those revolts, we simply type keywords into a search engine and we are faced with millions of possibilities. But beyond this initial avalanche of results, what kind of information can we glean from this noisy, slippery magma? A thematic workshop based on a documentary path through the apparent world of the information "freedom" that the Internet puts within our reach.

Gaza, War in Media presents a series of interviews that challenge the official Spanish media account of Israel's Operation Cast Lead, in which 1,400 Palestinians died and 5,000 people were wounded, most of them civilians. According to this version, Israel was “defending itself” from the launch of Qassam rockets by Hamas, by massive bombardments to destroy the “infrastructure” of this “terrorist” group. In reality, the bombardments and the ground offensive by the Israeli army targetted the civilian population of the Gaza Strip, as shown by the Goldstone report commissioned by the UN Human Rights Council.
